DESCRIPTION
Management consulting will continue to be a significant and popular career option, as it provides an opportunity for challenging work, continued self-development, access to important social and professional networks, traveling, and financial rewards.
In this course, you will explore the art of using expertise in a field to advise client organizations on high-level strategic issues and provide them with management counsel. Throughout the course, you will experience the opportunity to work on solving executive-level problems and simulate consulting project activities and situations by working on business cases, exercises, and a team assignment based on real-life consulting challenges. The class will be taught using a combination of discussion, cases, and guest lectures. The class environment will be highly interactive and participative. The course with culminate with a Team Project Competition, in which students will be organized into 6 consulting teams: Strategy Consulting, IT Consulting, Marketing Consulting, Human Capital Consulting, Operational/Process Consulting, and Organizational Consulting. While elaborating the course project, you will receive coaching and guidance from the professor in two Consulting Labs to provide you with an intensive on-the-job training experience. The consulting proposals will be presented in the last class and will be judged by a guest consultant.
The goal of the course is to provide you with a hands-on experience of management consulting. Therefore, you will be taken on a journey departing from experiencing what business consultants do, who they work for, how they spot consulting opportunities, how they develop proposals, perform business diagnostics, develop solutions, create an effective implementation plan, and skillfully present it to the client. In the process, you will have the opportunity to meet and learn from practicing experts: a management consultant from a large consulting group and an independent consultant, who will be invited to provide information relevant to their firms, their professional experience, and their particular expertise in the profession.
