MGMT8025
A group of students will review the business challenges faced by an industry partner or a company regarding their product/service/platform profitability and growth. Students will research to understand the business challenges in greater detail. They will put together a plan to revive the product/service/platform to profitability over 12-18-24 months. Students will use tools they learnt in the course, identify KPIs to measure success and develop a timeline for this execution that they will share with the industry partner or company for their review and use. The team that creates the most applicable solution may have an opportunity to support the execution as an intern for the company. Teams will be allowed to bounce off their initial thoughts and ideas and ask questions to better understand the business challenge at pre-determined intervals.

HRM8320
🎓 Welcome to Conestoga's Organizational Consulting Skills Capstone Program! Conestoga College presents a unique opportunity to work with our highly motivated students in the Organizational Consulting Skills course. This capstone experience is divided into two vital sections: Capstone 1 and Capstone 2. Capstone 1 kicks off in the Fall 2023 semester, and we're urging employers to act quickly. During this phase, students will work closely with you to craft a comprehensive project proposal, tailored to your specific HR consultancy needs. This proposal will be in progress by mid-November, so don't wait—apply ASAP to secure your spot! Capstone 2 , the project implementation phase, follows Capstone 1. Once the proposal is refined and approved, students will dive into the project, applying their acquired skills and knowledge to provide valuable solutions. Conestoga College is hosting several experience pages, each managed by different educators, and with diverse learner profiles. Please exercise caution when submitting match requests, as some experiences may already be filled, while others are eager for your projects. Ensure you select the right experience for your project. Application Process for Employers: Employers have two convenient options to submit a match proposal: Option 1: If you have a tailored project in mind, please submit it to match this experience page. However, we encourage you to provide detailed project scopes rather than broad descriptions. Option 2: Don't have a specific project but want to collaborate? No problem. Take advantage of our project template available on this experience page: Visit the "Templates" tab on this page. Choose the template that best aligns with your project's scope and review its content. Click "Use template." You'll be guided to the project wizard to fill in any additional information and make necessary adjustments. If you encounter any doubts about this process, please refer to this helpful article: Project Templates Guide . We're excited to embark on this collaborative journey with you and our dedicated students!
