Takoda Consulting is an Indigenous female-owned consultancy that focuses on working with male-dominated industries on how to better recruit, retain and support women.
I recently graduated with an MBA from Cornell & Queens in May of 2023 and officially launched Takoda Consulting in October 2023. While we're thrilled with the influx of opportunities, we're facing challenges in critical areas where additional support could be invaluable:
1. Leveraging AI: Exploring AI applications for both Takoda Consulting and our clientele to optimize operations and outcomes.
2. Streamlining Inquiry Management: Developing a structured system to manage inquiries from various channels effectively, including our website, email, and personal networks.
3. Enhancing Scheduling Efficiency: Improving our scheduling system to ensure seamless client communication and appointment booking processes.
4. Research on First Nations across Canada: Understanding what resource extraction and development projects impact the nations in their regions. Gain clarity on the structure of the Nation and its operations as well as demographics and historical challenges.
We're eager to collaborate with students to gain fresh perspectives and support in:
- Reviewing and refining our company vision and promotion strategies.
- Simplifying intake management processes and harnessing innovative ideas.
- Engaging in market analysis to identify niche opportunities and competitor landscapes.
- Launching and maintaining our social media channels.
-Building out our mentorship program and launching the initial pilot program.
Upon finding suitable matches, we'll align tasks with students' passions and strengths to maximize their impact and satisfaction within our collaborative environment.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:
- Familiarity with our target market, products, and services
- Deployment of marketing content
- How the process and steps they took can be emulated and replicable moving forward for the most efficiency.
Final deliverables should include
- Citation or references to easily follow where the information has been obtained.
- Slide deck presenting findings specific to the scope of the project.

- How will you support learners in completing the project?
-
Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:
- Our services
- Our marketing strategies
- Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
- What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?
-
In order to complete this project, students can self-teach, but it is beneficial to be familiar with:
- Passion to learn and not be afraid to make mistakes :) The rest will come!
Again, students can complete this project without any of the prior knowledge listed here.
Students will be expected to research and learn more about the above as the project goes along.

A mantra of mine is to make a positive impact in the lives of others any chance I get. This work is extremely important to me as I innately believe in people and believe that most people have good intentions. Looking at where we are as a society at this moment, I believe we should be further along than we are in a lot of areas. I have lived my entire life working in male-dominated industries, and for the most part, I have had amazing experiences. I have also been on the other side of the coin, and I am passionate about utilizing my background and experiences, both good and challenging, to ensure that we are not having these same conversations 10 years from now.
