This track expands upon traditional consulting to provide a range of related skills. Learn how to drive change and innovation, while maintaining a clear strategic direction. Analyze problems in ambiguous environments and apply integrative, multi-disciplinary thinking to solve them. Through simulated and real industry experience, you’ll consult in corporate strategy, information technology, supply chain, and logistical processes.
Along the way, you’ll develop interpersonal “soft” skills in leadership and project management – and the ability to successfully implement and lead projects through to completion.
“Management Consulting was probably the course I enjoyed most. The quality of delivery from all the teams was outstanding.” – Keith Martin, UBC MBA 2011, Management Consultant at McKinsey.
