During this exciting course, EMBA and MBA students will be experiencing the business consulting industry. Students will be tasked with synthesising a consulting solution to real challenges facing your organisation, anywhere in the world.

The nature of the project is completely up to your organisation, and at the end of this project students will deliver a consulting report to provide your organisation with innovative business solutions.

This opportunity will provide your organisation with real business solutions to real challenges, as well as providing exposure for your organisation among high-quality graduates.

Over the course of the project, groups of student-consultants will synthesise a consulting report based on your challenge, produced in collaboration with academic, industry and best practice input.

The types of business consulting projects are flexible and can range from financial analysis, to market analysis, to product portfolio analysis, to market research, and more. The nature of the project is up to the client organization. Once projects are selected, student teams will meet with the client to discuss the scope of the project and complete a Consulting Project Engagement Form for the client’s signature. If a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) needs to be signed due to the proprietary nature of the work, this can be discussed and executed.

Client Responsibilities RMIT understands that clients are very busy and do not have extensive time available to meet with student teams. Therefore, the expectation of client-team contact is to set up an initial meeting in which the project and expectations are discussed, scope laid out, and Consulting Project Engagement Form signed. After the initial meeting, contact between the client is on an adhoc basis, but communication should at least be bi-weekly for the team to discuss the status (update) of the work to be completed. Clients must attend the final class presentations online.
