Overview
Details

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on learners from the University of Liverpool to be your learner-consultants, in a project-based experience. learners will work on one main project over the experience of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.


Learners in this program/experience are looking for organisations who can propose a real-world broad business-related problem or challenge to our 2nd year Business Management students.


The problem or challenge can be linked to any topic that has a grounding in business functions and can be a topic or problem that may benefit from a fresh perspective. 


Deliverables

Deliverables are negotiable, and will seek to align the needs of the learners and the organization. 


Some final project deliverables might include: 

  1. A 10-15 minute presentation on key findings and recommendations
  2. A detailed report including their research, analysis, insights and recommendations


Project Examples

Learners in groups of 3-5 will work with your company to identify your needs and provide actionable recommendations, based on their in-depth research and analysis.


The problem or challenge can be linked to any topic that has a grounding in business functions and can be a topic or problem that may benefit from a fresh perspective. 

Previously, organisations have asked our students to complete a project on topics such as:


·        A pricing model for a new product

·        A market positioning report

·        A new communication strategy

·        A review and comparison of software platforms

·        A small event planning report


The choice of topic is flexible and can be discussed with the module coordinator before commencement.
