Management, Business, & Strategy

Consulting Project Lifecycle Workshops

Consulting Project Lifecycle:

The 5-Stage Process

Every consulting project (whether in Strategy, Management, Operations, or Enterprise Solutions) follows the same core lifecycle:

Initiation, Planning, Execution, Governance, and Delivery

These immersive workshops mirror each stage of this journey, allowing aspiring consultants to develop the exact skills, tools, and mindset used by professional consultants.

Rather than learning frameworks in isolation, these workshops are based on live UK business projects.

You will experience how consultants define problems, structure projects, manage stakeholders, deliver insights, and create value for clients.

Designed for UK students who are aspiring consultants and seeking practical consulting experience.

    4hrs per workshop (2 sessions)

Stage 1: Project Initiation

Workshop

The project initiation workshop primarily focuses on three pillars: Needs Analysis, Proposal, and Professional Communications

Mastering these skills allows you to walk into your next business challenge, interview, or boardroom presentation with the confidence of a top-tier consultant.

You will:

  • Develop the foundational structured problem-solving skills sought by top-tier firms like McKinsey, BCG, and Bain
  • Think like a strategist, applying First Principles thinking, issue trees, and advanced consulting questions to break down complex business problems
  • Identify and uncover hidden client needs through the Capstone Roleplay Discovery Session
  • Go beyond theory with deep dives into a live UK consulting project
  • Uncover the ‘7-Switches’ proposal structure that consistently wins clients
  • Gain proficiency in professional communication and rapport-building tools and methods used in consulting projects

This Workshop includes:

  • 4 Hours of Live, Expert-Led Training
  • A Live UK Business Case Study
  • Interactive Discovery Roleplay
  • Certificate of completion

Requirements

  • No prior consulting experience is required; this workshop is designed to take you from beginner to confident problem-solver, step by step.
  • A basic understanding of business concepts  will be helpful

Student Voices

This platform is the one thing that gave me real-life experience and the valuable experience I’ve gained in this process is just amazing.

It was also beneficial in building my consultancy skills and learning how to communicate in a professional manner.

It became a meaningful addition to my CV. I was able to apply what I had learned in class to practical work and deepen my understanding of the role while working on the project. Most importantly, it was a meaningful experience as it provided an opportunity that is not easily accessible to students.

Was very excited to work with a company and apply the knowledge I had learnt, and that’s exactly what happened, the process was smooth well-managed and got the chance to use our knowledge to apply for a real world company.

This collab with [the company] was really great for me as it allowed me to do it in a very consulting style
