Business Development Project

Eligible organizations:

For established organizations looking to capitalize on potential opportunities or address organizational challenges.

Project details:

Working with an individual Executive MBA student who is guided by an experienced professor or industry expert, our individual spring consulting engagements range in discipline, industry, and outcomes. Projects tend to focus on innovation and growth opportunities or change issues in the organization that are strategic and important, but they are often not addressed because of operational priorities.

Past project scopes include:

  • Application of artificial intelligence into work force planning.
  • Exploration of the impact of self-parking vehicles on the design of buildings.
  • Development a comprehensive business plan with a detailed firm valuation to attract necessary investors and clients.
  • Implementation of a software pilot to reduce the administrative burden on clinicians in a hospital setting.
  • Evaluation of business expansion opportunities within North America with an implementation plan to address these opportunities.

Expectations for your engagement:

Time commitment:

15-20 hours.

Your executive(s) will work with your Executive MBA student on a mutually agreed-upon and regular schedule, as outlined in the scope of the project proposal stage. You can expect to attend the 40-minute presentation of recommendations in mid-to-late June.

Access to information:

To ensure the project’s success, your company will need to provide relevant documentation and information. A non-disclosure agreement will be signed as necessary to protect confidential information.

Your Feedback:

We value your feedback and learn from your experience. In early July, a link to our client feedback form will be sent to you following the delivery of the final consulting report from the Executive MBA student. This feedback is critical to the learning experience of the student, and we appreciate your time reflecting on your experience. It should take no more than 5-10 minutes to complete.
