I’ve been asked to run an MBA class starting beginning of September at IIT (Illinois Institute of Technology) Stuart Graduate School of Business. It's an experimental capstone class I have labeled Business Strategy Consulting. Graduate consulting teams will be assigned to work with existing businesses that have a defined business problem that needs to be addressed. The optimal client profile would be as follows:
- Has a minimum of $100k in annual revenue
- Has a defined business problem in the area of marketing, distribution, new product direction, strategic partnerships, growth strategies, funding strategies, etc
- Problem can be defined and initially solved within 3 months (beginning of Sept thru end of November)
- Technology is well understood
- Based in Chicago area
- CEO can commit to spend up to 2 hours/week directing the team and reviewing final team presentation mid-December
Thought one of you involved with Built in Chicago might be interested in obtaining some great consulting help. Did I mention the cost is free?
I will serve as mentor and advisor to each team. Like many of you, I am a serial internet software start-up entrepreneur, but hail from Silicon Valley. You can catch me on LinkedIn.
Thanks in advance for considering this opportunity. I can best be reached at [email protected] and/or 619/977-1754
Regards, Fred Cutler
