CONSULTING FIELD PROJECT 2017 CONSULTING FIELD PROJECT Your organization, like others in this new millennium, faces a changing business and societal environment. These changes require developing the best strategies possible to arrive at the most appropriate solutions. Why not give our MBA students the opportunity to work with you and apply their recently acquired skills in analyzing problems related to organizational change. This year, we celabrate the 20th anniversary of the MBA program’s Consulting Field Projects. To date, more than 550 consulting projects have been realized for private-and public-sector firms as well as for non-profit organizations. Your company can be part of the Project by accepting to assign a task to a multidisciplinary team of students for five weeks. Under the guidance of an HEC professor, students will conduct an in-depth analysis of your company’s needs, evaluate various strategies and then propose concrete solutions. Students in the HEC Montréal MBA program form a mosaic of abilities and experience. Added to a wide-ranging base of academic knowledge, is an equally impressive cultural diversity, with more than half of the students in the program from abroad. This wealth of expertise is complemented by a state-of-the-art education that focuses on integration and mastery of skills, concepts and techniques essential to managing in a more demanding economy. It is an opportunity for your company to benefit from the expertise and know-how of HEC Montréal, and at the same time to help today’s MBA students become the managers and leaders of tomorrow.
