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...

One great thing about this specialization (now halfway through) is that the instructor is clearly a great educator, both intelligent on the subject matter and enthusiastic about sharing knowledge and his experience. The only time the wind was taken out of my sails while learning this material was the final peer-reviewed assignment was inconsistently nit-picked compared to quizzes in the modules. This cannot take away from the enjoyment I had learning these skills in the previous 99% of the course (part 3).

Theory is good, it would have been more insightful if a client/problem statement was taken as an example and the approach was applied on this problem statement to break down into buckets, list down the hypothesis, possible data requests etc... Connecting theory with a practical example would make this course more COMPLETE. Request sir John to include this part please. Thanks.
