Business Consulting

Catalog description

In this course you will put concepts into practice by advising a local organization on real strategic issues. The organization will provide a context in which to apply the knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) you have gained throughout your Stillman educational experience. You will be assigned to a functionally diverse consulting team that will meet with the organization, gather primary and secondary data, analyze the resulting data, define specific challenges or opportunities and then propose appropriate strategies, tactics and actionable recommendations. The issues will likely cover a broad spectrum across multiple disciplines giving you a chance to apply many of the tools and concepts you learned in the MBA program, including ‘soft skills’ like communication, peer coaching, problem solving, critical thinking, adaptability, teamwork, and conflict resolution.
