The Management Consultancy — From Brief to Boardroom

Experience life in a busy professional consultancy practice. Teams receive a business challenge and respond as external advisers: defining the problem, gathering and analysing data, exploring strategic options, and crafting a clear, evidence-led set of recommendations. The process culminates in a live presentation to a “client” audience — a boardroom-style moment that tests their analysis, confidence, and commercial judgement.

Consultancy Project — Market Expansion Strategy

Groups analyse a case in which a company plans to enter a new market. Students assess the market opportunity and the competitive landscape, then outline a route to entry that balances opportunity with risk. The final output is a concise recommendation pack with rationale, assumptions, and next steps.

Consultancy Project — Sustainability Brief

Students tackle a consultancy task focused on sustainability — for example, reducing environmental impact or strengthening corporate reputation. Teams propose practical measures such as supply chain changes, product and packaging choices, or stakeholder communication plans. Recommendations are delivered as a structured brief designed for immediate executive action.

This course is designed to give you a comprehensive understanding of key business concepts, from management and leadership to marketing and finance. By the end of the programme, you will have the skills to analyse business challenges and communicate your ideas effectively in a professional setting. This course is perfect for those with ambitions in business, entrepreneurship, or management roles across various industries.
