Strategic Planning Project Program
MBA student teams of 3-4 provide dedicated consulting services to companies in five-month engagements from January 7 to June 7, 2021, culminating in strategic recommendations and an implementation plan. Whether it’s providing specialized expertise or simply moving forward an important project you haven’t gotten to yet, we are focused on adding value to your activities.
The Strategic Planning Project also serves as the MBA candidate’s capstone course, giving students a chance to demonstrate and apply their business skills in a real-world context. The students draw both from their training as top-notch MBAs, as well as their specialized skills and knowledge in sustainable business practices.
