Consulting Practice

Catalog description

The Stern Consulting Corps (SCC): Consulting Practice- Process and Problem Solving is a hands-on experiential learning opportunity that allows students to work in teams to tackle a business issue or opportunity for a client while applying in real time the key steps of the consulting process they are learning in the classroom. Students will discuss their challenges, approaches and recommendations in class and on-line while benefiting from the guidance and expertise of the instructor and a seasoned strategy consulting professional. Whether students are going into the consulting field or another area of business, this course will show you how to break a complicated problem into pieces that can be individually and methodically addressed. We will discuss how to gather the right data to build a relevant fact base which can be used to drive key conclusions. By working on a live SCC project concurrently, you will benefit from the ‘flipped classroom model’ to seamlessly integrate knowledge with practice and leave the experience confident in problem solving abilities.
