Overview
Details

Ivey Field Project is a capstone course which examines several functional areas of business (i.e. new product launches, modifying operational processes or even the need for a structured employee recruitment strategy).


There will be a team of six students dedicated to doing over 600 hours of strategic consulting on the project. The team will work closely with the client contact or an assigned senior executive in the company who will provide insights, information and details producing a comprehensive project result. The team will undertake primary and secondary research and as such may need some direction internally. Completion of the project includes delivery of a final written report and presentation to the client.
