  • Marketing/Recruitment strategy.
  • Leadership or change management.
  • Operations management solutions.
  • Leveraging new technologies for change.

Please ensure you are committed to meeting with students as near the project kickoff date as possible (May 31st or June 30th 2021), and that you'll be able to respond to their enquiries in a timely matter over the duration of the project. Because this is a short consulting engagement, any delays may prevent the students from completing the project effectively.

Provide students access to your company's internal data to allow them to complete analysis (NDAs can be signed, which should be done before project kick-off).
