The Design
A 5.5-day live simulation of a client engagement that provides balanced practice in professionalism, core consulting skills, communication, and giving presentations to executives.
Audience: Newly hired business technology analysts
Skills in Focus: Team building; storyboarding; work planning; interviewing; analysis & interpretation; creating & delivering presentations
Features: Plenary sessions; instructor-led sessions; apprenticeship model
The Details
Participants collect and analyze data, send professional emails, interview stakeholders, develop recommendations to grow client share price, meet with management, and develop and deliver a presentation.
To develop recommendations, participants must ask insightful questions during client interviews and analyze those results.
Experts provide coaching and meaningful feedback so participants can adjust their approach throughout the program.
Two curveballs are built in: A partner wants to meet with teams to discuss the engagement status; the client sends additional information the requires teams reassess their initial findings and recommendations.
