Consulting Project for Private and Public Sector

Workshop is introduced to provide students with a good understanding of consulting work. During the workshop, students will perform a complete consulting project, from developing its concept and planning, through the implementation of milestones, quality control and timely execution of tasks, to the final presentation to a client. Participants will be familiarised with the techniques and methods of preparation and management of consulting projects, with emphasis on the written forms of data analysis and presentation.

During the course, students will obtain practical skills as far as planning and carrying-out of a consulting project and - to a larger extend - get accustomed with consulting work specificity. Students will also develop capabilities of team-working and get involved in the process of research work and data analysis.
