Learner goals and capabilities

Beginning this Fall, a Master’s-level student-consultant will work with your organization on researching and preparing a new opportunity, strategic initiative, issue or decision.

The student-consultant will utilize qualitative (interviews, focus groups or other ethnographic methods) and quantitative analysis and tools to research a business question. The organization will gain recommendations grounded on data for specific strategic options and considerations related to the business objectives.
