Do you want to better understand your current customer needs and how to solve their problems? Would you like to find new ways to grow revenue or reach new segments? Is there a new business opportunity you would love to explore? Are you worried about trends that may threaten your core business, or possible competitive threats?

Let our business and marketing students at London Metropolitan University join your team as consultants! Our students are looking for a consultative placement experience with your organisation. They have excellent business skills and work closely with faculty who have entrepreneurial experience supporting companies through growth and innovation efforts.

Projects provide bottom-line benefits at no cost to the company, other than coordination and support of the student(s) whilst working with your organisation.

Student teams can provide a business-style recorded video/audio embedded presentation (via PowerPoint) outlining key findings and actionable recommendations to the company. Their work and findings can be produced via several methods:

• Primary data collection through interviews, focus-groups or surveys;
• Analysis of company data (e.g., cost or revenue trends over time, or across segments; social media or other analytics data);
• Gathering and analysis of secondary quantitative data (such as pricing, census or economic data) and qualitative information (such as industry and competitive analysis and commentary);
• Data synthesis, analysis, and recommendation development including business model impacts, resource gap analysis and resource acquisition plans, and general implementation strategies.
