Consultancy
To succeed in consultancy, whether as a career or part of a broader role, you need to be able to analyse complex organisational challenges, by thinking critically, communicating effectively and influencing colleagues, customers, managers and other stakeholders.
At the centre of consulting successfully, you need to be able to effectively work with, guide and influence others. Through your MBA journey, you will be prepared with a strategic mind and analytical skills required to unlock the full potential of an organisation.
Within the Intelligent Organisation module, you will develop consultancy capabilities by proposing practical solutions to accelerate digital transformation. By using company-specific and context-specific data and information to undertake critical analysis of company strategies in the Global Managerial Economics module, you will develop the skills of a consultant. Through learning advanced leadership practices, within the Responsible and Effective Leadership module, and by understanding how to critically apply theories to your practice, you will be able to maximise impact from your consultancy.
You will develop your consultancy skills through our ‘challenge’ modules, including the Marketing Consultancy Challenge and the Internationalisation Challenge. You will put your consultancy and subject knowledge and skills into practice, working as part of a consulting team to provide your clients with valuable insights for dealing with their challenges.
One of the highlights of the MBA experience was collaborating with a South Yorkshire company. This project truly tested my consultancy skills, as our group of five international students had to work closely with a local business. Initially, I thought language and cultural differences might pose challenges, but they actually pushed us to think outside the box and propose innovative ideas that were fresh to the company.
