Consulting with NGO'S

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Consulting with NGOs (formerly known as Service Leanring) focuses on encouraging 'learning by doing'. NGOs and other non-profit companies operate in a particularly challenging space. On this module, students will come to understand these challenges firsthand by working closely with a local charity, non-profit or social enterprise to solve a current business challenge that they are facing. To do this, students will learn some of the tools and techniques that management consultants use when advising companies - not just the theory, but also how to apply them. By making that important link between theory and practice, students will also be able to explore the key management issues affecting the non-profit sector, while making a valuable contribution to the local community. This is a project-based course with a considerable amount of group work. All students will be assessed on both their group work and their individual contribution to the project.
