About the Course
This is the #3 course in the specialization on management consulting.
Management consultants excel at solving difficult and complex business problems. How do they do this? Shouldn’t clients know more about their situation than external consultants? Consultants are trained to systematically break down problems into logical pieces, then aggressively pursue answers with data:
• Think about the problem broadly; strategy, operations, people, technology
• Define the problem clearly; articulate “what does success look like?”
• Break the problem into “buckets” so it is easy to understand
• Use hypotheses to “guess” your way to the potential answer(s)
• Find and clean up messy data; convert the data into useful recommendations

Excellent course. Extremely insightful seasoned with years of consulting experience, the professor makes the material practical and discusses the material with the "language" of the profession.

The course feels overly repetitive...I am done through 3 modules of the course and most of the stuff is basic stuff... I believe that the course could be cut down to a few points making it crisp and to the point.
