A group of highly-experienced North America-based spa consultants have bonded together to form one of the first industry-specific chapters of IMC, the Institute of Management Consultants, and were officially inducted into IMC USA at the 2009 annual conference in Reno, NV.

Spa Consultants provide a wide array of services to hotel and resort owners and operators, real estate developers, and operators of existing spas. These services may include market analysis, financial feasibility and proforma projections, concept development and project planning, and coordination with architects, designers, advertising firms, and in-house marketing, sales and development teams.

Spa consultants also create or assist with the development of brand standards, standard operational procedures, staff recruitment, training and compensation, product and equipment selection and procurement, and the development of robust retailing initiatives, in addition to other related tasks. This chapter intends to distinguish the experience and enhance the capabilities of IMC member spa consultants who embrace the high standards and ethics in management consulting endorsed by IMC. The Spa Consultant Chapter provides education, professional growth, collaboration and networking opportunities, and serves as a portal for developers and entrepreneurs to this highly experienced and qualified group of independent spa consultants.

Access to the information contained here is free, and we welcome guests to most of our professional development and networking programs, consistent with our mission in promoting excellence and ethics for all members of the spa consulting profession.
