This module is an opportunity to tackle a real organisational problem in a specific discipline, as prescribed by a 'client' company, working in a group. The aims are:

• to apply discipline-specific knowledge, covered in the post graduate programme, in addition to knowledge gained from previous studies (if relevant) to a real-world problem/situation.
• to undertake business consultancy across the entire lifecycle of a project from inception to delivery.
• to develop consulting skills, including those related to academic research, such as effective communication with the company, choosing appropriate theories/frameworks and effectively collecting and using data as needed.
• to effectively work in a group.
• to deliver a range of agreed outputs to a deadline.
