In E&I Business Project, participants take on the role of junior consultants and will be provided with the opportunity to conduct a real-life consulting project with a well known, multi-national operating company - Mayr-Melnhof Karton AG, a manufacturer in the paper and packaging industry, based in Vienna.
Besides sound theoretical inputs on the methodological approach by the E&I faculty, a clear project goal and a straight-forward project strucuture, participants will be supported by external coaches (e.g. Deloitte, Accenture) that provide insights on presentation skills, group facilitation, and consulting insights. In turn, participants will be asked to commit themselves to the project, devote a reasonable amount of their time to it and to work on the project self-responsibly.
