A signature initiative of ICC is to work with real clients to solve their strategic business problems. Projects are led and staffed by students of all post-graduate programs at LBS. These projects typically start in the fall and are 8-10 weeks in duration.
Projects are led by an experienced MBA strategy consultant from Bain & Co. with project management and team leadership experience. Teams are made up of teams of 4-6 students from diverse backgrounds.
Student teams are designed to ensure the leads have consulting experience and the members have a diverse range of backgrounds and skillsets. Students do have a say in what clients they wish to work with.
Bain is the official sponsor of ICC's term projects and provides guidance via a kickoff call and wrap up connect. Additionally, teams are paired with a Bain mentor who will guide them through the process.
Student teams are ultimately responsible for assessing the best approach to address client challenges by gathering relevant data and insights to make an informed recommendation.
Teams will present their final recommendation to both Bain mentors and client leads. The recommendations are backed with real-world insights that are invaluable to client decision making.
A term project is a great way for you to get involved in the broader community, beyond your program at LBS, and learn more about the work consultants do. The projects provide you with the opportunity to understand how consultants structure a case and how they work with clients, all while tackling a real-life problem in 2 months.
Projects are a great way for you to critical business skills, develop leadership capacity and build your consulting toolkit, all through working on strategic problems with real clients
Projects are staffed with students across programs at LBS (Early Careers, MBA, EMBA ) and enables you to meet different members of the LBS community to widen your network
