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...

In this course "Consulting Approach to Problem Solving" I really liked how Professor John Kim clearly explained how to approach a Consulting Problem with modern day technical tools, concepts and also a Consultant should have a humble, kind and respectful personality because this profession is a People Business.

I learned a lot from the lectures. Though some concepts are similar and common, they were delivered in such a way that I relearn and rethink what I already know and I greatly enjoyed the materials. The article blogs are a huge plus as part of the learning materials.

Me parece que fue un curso muy metĂłdico para el uso de consultores o futuros consultores en la obtenciĂłn y bĂşsqueda de datos. El uso de la herramienta DMAIC me pareciĂł fabulosa para desarrollar mejora en procesos.

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.

I loved this course as well. It was pretty (pretty) dense for me, however, I have managed to finish it and also learn something consulting-heavy.
