Schulich MBA student-consultants will undertake a comprehensive strategic study of your organization and its external environment to identify key strategic issues and develop actionable recommendations - including an implementation plan - to help your organization achieve its goals. Feedback from past clients indicates that they most appreciate the in-depth analysis and objective assessment of their operations and the new insights and perspectives introduced by the students. Please note: For this capstone project, only companies/organizations with established products and an existing customer base can be accepted (proxy: $2-3M annual revenue). We cannot accommodate start-ups without an established customer base.

Get fresh insights on a business management challenge or opportunity as a team of MBA and BBA students work with your organization on a consulting initiative.
