Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on MBA learners from the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary to be your learner-consultants, in a project-based consulting style experience. Learners will work on one main project over the course of the semester, to provide a recommendation on a strategic business challenge. Students in this course demonstrate the value of applying theory and concepts learned during their MBA studies to the completion of a strategic project for an organization.

Deliverables are negotiable, and will seek to align the needs of the learners and the organization. Students will work on one project to:

• Analyze and research the challenge (may involve interviewing, library and internet research and data collection/analysis)
• Propose solutions that leverage organization resources
• Plan an interdisciplinary course of action to solve the managerial challenge
• Present their final project/recommendations (orally and in writing) to the client organization

Some final project deliverables might include: 

1. A 10-15 minute presentation on key findings and recommendations
2. A detailed report including their research, analysis, insights and recommendations
