How do projects work?
You'll work in teams of three to six students to address a critical client issue on any range of topics across industries and functions. Then, you'll partner with client liaisons to review your findings and obtain feedback, letting you form real relationships that lead to real insights. Throughout the project, you are guided by our expert faculty who provide team and leadership coaching to cultivate your skills and capabilities - all while leveraging their extensive research, resources and expertise.
