Our Management Consulting Development Program (MCDP) is explicitly geared at recent college graduates, who join as a new Business Analyst. MCDP is an intensive two to the three-year program that helps our Business Analysts develop the essential core skills to be relevant to clients and profitable as a management consultant.
Aimed at equipping talent with a “CEO Mindset,” MCDP takes a comprehensive approach to develop leadership skills. Throughout their time in the program, individuals are exposed to a spectrum of management consulting experiences across various specialty areas including Analytics, Customer Relationship Management, Finance & Enterprise Performance, Operations, Risk Management, Strategy, Sustainability, and Talent & Organization. They also participate in a full classroom as well as on-the-job competency development activities.
Individuals in MCDP are encouraged to hone their leadership skills through participation and leadership in defined Action Teams, which design and deliver several strategic initiatives both within geographic “hubs” and across North America.
