Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
What Works Consultants is a management consulting firm that helps service focused companies in the hospitality, healthcare, software, and professional services industries with continuous improvement and performance enablement initiatives. The firm has been in business since 2009 and in full-time operation since 2016.
Seeking students and professors who will sign an NDA as our consultants do to protect our clients' information and confidentiality.
As our organization grows, it is important to stay up to date with the industry’s evolving human resources practices to manage our employees effectively. The firm is now ready to scale and seeks students to help us on our external (client supporting) projects.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
In this project, students will:
- If local to a project go on site with a WWC consultant to take notes and learn about management consulting and training practices
- Work on research projects: Primary and secondary data, survey creation, use of Qualtrics, creating results presentations
- Taking consultant recommendations and enhancing presentations with current academic practices, asking questions and gaining knowledge from our consultants
- Reviewing or compiling software requirements of clients and doing demos to complete requirements grids
- Writing training materials, suggesting curriculum or training plans
- Speaking to current employees and management to determine the needs and challenges of our organization for a performance management system.
- Researching performance management options that may suit the needs of our team, focusing on measurability and reliability.
- Establishing a rollout plan that outlines how our organization will transition to using a new performance management system.
These are just a few examples. I am open to hear about project requirements to see if our firm can offer you a real world learning experience.
