The course is well structured! As a sophomore in college, I find that, many of the times, the 'tricks' taught in the course can be also applied somewhere else in my life, e.g. creating a good impression for my professors or on-campus employers... This course definitely has motivated me to move towards the consulting industry, and becoming a better person in communications!

John Kim is extremely clear in his explanations, using appropriate examples and useful tools to illustrate the concepts he is teaching. He loves to teach - that is obvious - and I feel like I have learned a lot of useful information including tools, approaches, concepts, and where to find further tips and learning.

Really great course on problem solving. My biggest take away is to open up the problem slowly to clearly define it before going into "fixing mode". While it may seem boring, it is an essential part of the job that will dictate the direction of the whole project. This course also spent quite a lot of time on data requests, cleansing, and basic skills you need to have on Excel to be a consultant. I'll definitely look into buying the book John recommended: Bullet-proof Problem Solving and upskill myself on Excel formulas afterwards.

As I've learned from the earlier two courses in this 5 course specialization, I've been serving in an "internal consulting" capacity. This course provided me with the awareness I'd need to function in an 'external capacity'. Some nuances I've just not 'processed', you know... In taking on &/or suggesting special initiatives (on top of primary role), I've just "been doing it". My primary takeaway from this course was "framing and communicating" so that engagement with future clients will be (even more) productive.

Although I'm twice the age of most of his students and completed my doctorate long ago, I found Professor Kim's presentation and frameworks to be very helpful. I took extensive notes, and will be applying some of his teachings to my own professional work. I very much recommend the entire Management Consulting Specialization for people from different fields who are looking for fresh approaches to business development and management, especially this course and Consulting Presentations & Storytelling .

John Kim makes the content very approachable and even entertaining while ensuring coverage of concrete problem solving approaches and frameworks like buckets, trees, DMIAC, etc. He also leverages. The information and exercises provided helps provide a structured approach to understanding and using the consulting approaches to problem solving. Highly recommended for those interested in solving problems the consulting way.

As always, found the content taught in this module very practical too. I specifically find various resources reference being provided very useful as well making a best one stop for helpful content on management consulting (it will take years of experience to find these by ourself). Sincere thanks to instructor Sir John Kim.

Excellent content and presentation in this course! I found the focus and depth was just right for my understanding the essential steps in being a developing consultant. The breakdown tips for each type of consultant role - new, internal and external-solo - are well worth understanding.

Problem-solving is such a necessary skill but quiet foggy to learn about it. This course help me a lot to start thinking different and take a problem-solving perspective on any kind of situation.

I really enjoyed the course. The material is very specific at the same time the information can be applied to any profession. The course equips you to become well rounded professional. If you are in the job market or looking to move up the ladder, all the 6 courses under Management Consulting provided by Emory University and presented by John Kim are priceless. I feel I have gained a whole lot just by watching John Kim's videos. He did a great job and his enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you very much!
