Beginning this fall, five groups of MBA students will work over 1,500 collective hours helping your organization effectively manage an upcoming change. Serving as external consultants, groups will analyze the impact of a change on your business and devise a change management strategy. The MBA student-consultants' perspective and expertise will allow you to consider new approaches to the change and unexpected areas of impact. Based on their analysis, they will deliver a strategy that manages risks, takes advantage of opportunities, and executes change effectively.
