An emphasis is placed on effective decision-making through data analytics and the Ivey Case methodology.

Project Examples
In this assignment, students will dive deep into a particular challenge or opportunity that you provide. They’ll work with a contact from your organization to gain a thorough understanding of the needs of your business and (if applicable) the competitive landscape of your industry.
As a participating organization, you’ll be asked to provide a particular question, topic or challenge that will be their area of focus. Their review and recommendations may encompass other areas as well, but they’ll provide specific recommendations to address your chosen topic.
Examples could include, but are not limited to:
- How can we reduce our costs of production?
- How can we improve our supply chain processes to be more responsive to changes in demand?
- How can we introduce quality assurance into our internal processes?
- What technologies should we be leveraging for internal communication?
- What could be changed in our recruitment practices to attract the types of candidates we’re looking for?
- Does our digital marketing strategy communicate our brand effectively?
