Introduction
Students will learn how to use the fundamental tools and techniques employed by consultants in financial management, business analysis, and management consulting. Artificial intelligence (AI), exemplified through tools like ChatGPT, is already an integral part of the consultant's toolkit and will play a significant role in this course. You will learn to use AI effectively and critically.
The course has a practical focus, and students will learn to solve problems for businesses across various industries. Through webinars, case studies, and guest lectures, students will gain valuable insights into working as a consultant.
You will use frameworks such as MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive), SCQA (Situation, Complication, Question, Answer), problem definition, decision trees, and logic trees, as well as storytelling techniques in presentations.
Numbers without stories are just numbers, and stories without numbers are merely stories. By combining the two, your ability to convey a message can be enhanced. Therefore, storytelling techniques can be a vital complement to effectively delivering a message.
If you aspire to work in a consulting firm or wish to learn effective problem-solving techniques, this course will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how this is done and will give you an advantage in nearly any situation where you face a complex problem.
