Global Immersion Programme

Experiential Learning Content

The content will include all of the following:

A. Work on an International Strategy Consulting Project

Participants will work in teams to conduct an in-depth analysis of a company’s business goals and objectives. The goal of this analysis is to understand if their current practices are in alignment with what they want to achieve. Based on their analysis, they will provide strategic recommendations the company can implement to drive better results.

The consultants will also provide inputs on market research and the competitive landscape so that the company can make well-informed decisions in their
business.

The project will require participants to go out, meet people and businesses, study the market, conduct field observations, establish local contacts, analyse and submit their recommendations. All of this will be done under the expert mentorship of a London Business School or University of Oxford alumni with many years of international corporate experience.

B. Visit two local businesses / industries / innovation centres, etc.
