Field Study Consulting

I have copied this exactly from the MBA Strategy Consulting Project as this is very much what we are looking for: Student-consultants will undertake a comprehensive strategic study of your organization and its external environment to identify key strategic issues and develop actionable recommendations - including an implementation plan - to help your organization achieve its goals. Feedback from past clients indicates that they most appreciate the in-depth analysis and objective assessment of their operations and the new insights and perspectives introduced by the students. Project Beginning in March, a team of six to seven MBA students will spend up to a combined 1,750 total hours completing a comprehensive study of your company and all of its business functions. Based on their in-depth research and analysis, the student-consultants will identify future prospects for the organization and recommend specific strategic actions, including a detailed implementation plan and an outline of the financial implications. Area of Focus: Instead of focusing on one area of your business, the team will perform a comprehensive analysis of your organization, including internal (e.g., financial health; customer base; strategic capabilities; human capital) and external (e.g., competitors; industry and market trends; customer behaviour; technological developments) factors. This will lead to insights and recommendations that address the needs of your organization, holistically. However, organizations are encouraged to provide a goal or suggested area of focus to guide the students' direction. Areas that students may focus on include, but are not limited to: New product offerings Changing organizational structure Comprehensive analysis leading to insights and recommendations on strategies for potential to develop new products and technology offerings.

Analyzing Historical Buyer Data

Our company is in the midst of conducting a feasibility study into new areas we might be able to grow. It is important that the growth and development of our product/service align with our current customers while also allowing us to reach new ones.  We want to make the most informed decision possible before we enter a new market. Historical buyer and buying data should help us identify spaces for growth, areas of declining sales and stagnation in our own business to inform future business development. This information is fundamental to the allocation of our resources and the efforts to choose to pursue. In addition, we would like to understand the trend for spending in our industry. Using historical buyer data, help us evaluate our current audience. Using the curation of this data, we would like a group of students to assist in a report.  The report should be a summary of the behaviours and attributes of our buyer. Following the summary, we would like the students to make informed recommendations for business development.

Market Expansion Research

We are ready to take our business to the next level. Presently we only exist in one market but it’s time to grow!  Our company requires some assistance is assessing our customer landscape outside of our current territory.  We want to learn more about customer’s expectations and behaviours in suggested new regions. It is important for us to stay up to date on industry standards to ensure that we research new locations fully and completely before choosing to enter. We have some ideas of where we would like to go but we need to make sure that we consider all available options before making a decision. Our specific need is an outline of our industry’s expansion opportunities through a location analysis. This report should include an optimal location recommendation list.  To consider: which markets align with our current one? Where are there buyers that we have yet to reach? What are the pros and cons to expanding our operations? What potential competitors exist in new locations? What legal protocol will need to be considered? We would like this to be partnered with some primary data collection; surveys and research into our present and future consumer to gather insights into buying behaviours and expansion expectations. These should supplement the location recommendations.
