Recognition, and how to check it.
Every entry on this page links to a source outside this website. You do not have to ask us for anything, and you do not have to take our word for it.
Anything we cannot link, we do not claim here. Where a public register records something against us that is unhelpful, it is listed too.

Kristin Irish's LinkedIn profile→What is deliberately not on this page
ECS has delivered MBA student club sessions at Harvard Business School, MIT Sloan and Yale School of Management, and spoken at the UK Festival of Education. These were invitations to speak, not appointments or affiliations, and we do not claim otherwise. Student club sessions are rarely listed publicly, so there is no page to link. The invitations themselves are held on file and are shown to prospective clients and introducers on request.
Client outcomes are documented and evidence is held on file. Most clients are anonymised at their request, so the underlying documents are shown in private rather than published. That is a real limit on what you can check from the outside, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise.
