The final part of your Executive MBA journey is the Consulting Project, which is your opportunity to apply your new knowledge and experiences to a tangible, real-life proposal. 

 

The Consulting Project is:

  • Designed to demonstrate your strategic ability to frame a problem or opportunity that is linked to your organisation, industry, or relevant business issue.

  • The ultimate proof of your ability to defend a concept or idea, develop a realistic and actionable solution, and apply relevant strategic frameworks which will add value, help support the sustainable growth of your business or demonstrate your capacity to lead innovation and transformation.

The Consulting Project has had a considerable impact on me career-wise. I worked on a topic that was strategic for my company. It enabled me to go further than the responsibilities I had at the time. It turned out to be a very valuable win-win situation for me and the company I work for, as I was able to demonstrate my capacity to conceptualise and build a strategy and start a new phase in my professional evolution.

I have been able to make good use of all the skills acquired and developed during the Executive MBA, such as finance, strategy, entrepreneurship, etc., applying them to the creation of Natur’Elles Aventures. The EMBA allowed me to structure and build this project and gave me the opportunity to discuss it with other professionals (from my cohort), who offered me an outside perspective. This diploma has legitimised and given added value to my status as a business owner.

The EDHEC Executive MBA programme provided me with a solid foundation in leadership skills and team management and cohesion. It helped me develop a global approach to management and taught me how to make relevant and applicable decisions. Through the programme I discovered my leadership style and learned to appreciate how to take a step back in order to see the bigger picture and be more objective. Today, through my improved managerial practices, I strive to bring out the best in each individual on my team. I am also more aware of the need to continually learn, and to cultivate oneself.
