Projects launch on first day of the spring semester and findings and recommendations are presented to a audience of key stakeholders and interested individuals on the last days of the semester. • Engagements begin with and are guided by a clear understanding of the commitment we are making to our clients. In this respect, projects have regular deliverables. • Our clients benefit from the insights and recommendations that emanate from our students’ accumulated business acumen.
