Beginning this May, 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.

Change initiative examples include, but are not limited to:

• Merger or acquisition
• Restructuring
• Leadership challenges
• Implementing a new technology system or integrating a new technology system into a workflow
• Redesigning an internal system or process
• Re-imagining your mission, vision, and purpose
• Enhancing collaboration and synergy through creating learning communities both inside or outside an organization
• Developing synergy between departments within an organization
• Developing a partnership with another organization
• Preparing your organization for a change in legislation

Note: This is not a marketing project.
