MGT900 Business Consulting practice
The internal consultant role is becoming essential in today’s workplace. All types of organizations and business units recognize the value of analyzing business problems and translating them into the right solutions as a key to getting the right work done. Whether that work is done through projects or ad hoc requests, certain core skills are needed to be effective and to begin operating more as consultants and less like reactionary problem-solvers. Among those skills are the ability to understand and analyze business problems, break down a problem into manageable pieces, and recommend and “sell” solutions that will adequately solve a problem or take advantage of an opportunity.
This course provides industry-standard, practical skills that anyone performing an internal consultant role needs. People will learn effective methods to ask good questions, objectively analyze issues, and gather supporting data to understand business problems and improvement areas. To avoid “jumping to solutions,” our course presents approaches to think critically and understand root causes of problems. And, since acceptance and understanding by business colleagues of findings and recommendations is critical, our course helps people to learn simple and effective ways to document and present their work.
Many practical and engaging exercises and workshops help walk people through the concepts presented, and afford ample practice with the techniques learned.
What you will learn:
MBA Live consulting project
Application is the acid test for management theory. Without the project element, too much MBA content would escape unchallenged. The project enables you to combine content, integrate subject areas and most importantly test ideas directly with feedback from the real world.
Students will typically work in a two-person team on a consultancy project for a corporate client. Guided by a professor, students will resolve a critical business challenge of the client. Each student is expected to spend a minimum of 20 days on the Industry Project. Although negotiated between project teams and clients on an individual basis, teams can expect significant remuneration from clients for their services.
The project represents major part of your MBA assessment and is the perfect opportunity to integrate the skills and knowledge you have acquired and apply them to a major business challenge that your organisation faces. A successful project can have a major impact on your reputation and even position within your organisation.
Projects cover every possible subject including: internal strategic reviews, new market entry strategies, change management challenges, business diversification, mergers and acquisitions and performance measurement.
Internship
Aegis works closely with industry to make our students to have better understanding of their requirement. To accomplish that we organize 2 months compulsory internship with industry as a part of the course. During the course students work on various consultancy assignment with various companies.
