Join us for an exciting event, and discover how Danish management consultancy houses are retaining and promoting female talent.

You will also learn what current research suggests as the main challenges for companies to have better gender balance, especially in top management.

The event is part of the Association of Danish Management Consulting Firms initiative, More Women in Consulting, which aims to create greater gender diversity in the industry. The event is linked to the last theme in the Association of Danish Management Consulting Firms' inspiration catalogue, which you can read about here.

We bring the industry together for debate

Why don’t women stay in the consulting industry or are promoted to the same extent as men?
We will bring the industry together for a discussion and debate on February 2, 2022, 4:30-6:00 p.m. at Implement Consulting Group.
Although the event is part of the Association of Danish Management Consulting Firms, other advisers can also draw inspiration and are therefore welcome. Hurry up to register as seating is limited.

The event will be in English.
