This course provides an advanced understanding of the evolving consulting industry and the skills and critical learnings necessary to thrive at the levels of project manager through partner and senior partner.
Through a combination of lectures, class exercises, panel discussions, cases, and real-life examples drawn from the instructors’ combined 50+ years of consulting experience, this course focuses on the following:
- Reinforcing the problem-solving and communications principles and skills taught in B8624-001/002
- Providing a perspective on where the management consulting industry is headed and what it means for the skills required of those entering it today
- Understanding the progression of skills you will be expected to master at each rung of the consulting ladder as well as the trade-offs around leaving consulting at each career stage
The course’s ultimate objective is to position students for a successful run as mid-level to senior-level consultants with knowledge of how their skills will need to evolve, the subtleties of how to navigate their firms and client teams, and what it will take to thrive.
