Throughout the course, you'll tackle real managerial problems by conducting company visits, investigating issues, and executing research plans. Working collaboratively with your team, you'll develop solutions in areas like brand awareness and sales strategies. Finally, you'll present your findings directly to company management, rounding off your practical consulting experience.
