Are you leading an organization facing a strategic challenge that could benefit from a fresh perspective? The Richmond MBA Capstone Project offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with a dedicated team of MBA students who provide pro-bono consulting services tailored to your most pressing business needs.
Under the guidance of seasoned faculty advisors, our students delve deep into your organization’s strategic concerns. They meticulously research, analyze data, and craft tailored recommendations along with a detailed implementation plan. It’s a confidential, high-level consultancy designed to propel your organization forward.
Throughout the years, we’ve had the privilege of partnering with more than 25 VACEOs organizations through our Capstone program, and we’re eager to take on new challenges for the upcoming academic year. Whether your focus is on expanding into new markets, making strategic decisions, or optimizing operational processes, our Capstone offers innovative solutions that drive results.
I worked with a great team of 3 students and a faculty member. Two of the students were JD/MBAs, and the other worked in data analysis and data visualization. They helped me spin up a beautiful PowerBI instance to visualize our robust pharmacy data, and it was dazzling! I was truly stunned when I saw the end result! While we don’t use the specific report that they built, it opened up the door for us to leverage their work to build even better and more powerful reporting for our clients. We also use these reports in sales conversations, and they’re always the gem of the presentation; people love them! – Robbie Sutkay, CEO, Pharmacy Data Solutions.
The Capstone isn’t just a project; it’s the culmination of a Richmond MBA student’s academic journey. By aligning your strategic challenges with our program, you empower our students to apply classroom knowledge in real-world scenarios, delivering actionable strategies that make a tangible impact. Join hundreds of organizations that have leveraged our Capstone to achieve their business objectives.
Organizations of all sizes have participated, each with unique objectives; some seek clarity, while others aim to build strategic momentum. If you’re ready for fresh insight and innovative thinking, we invite you to partner with The Richmond MBA Capstone Project. Together, we can tackle complex challenges and help drive your organization forward.
