You’ll partner with small teams of up to five Kelley students, with guidance from a faculty advisor, for the 16-week fall semester. The students lead the project. They develop work plans, generate deliverables, manage communication, and recommend solutions.

Throughout the field consulting project, you will gain critical and creative insights into your business challenge, an implementation plan, and about 550 hours of in-depth analysis—at no cost to you. You will also provide valuable experience for future business leaders.

How Field Consulting Projects Work

1. Identify the project

Choose a real and important (but not urgent) problem that your organization needs to address. It does not need to be accounting-based.

2. Meet with your student team

Provide relevant information to your student team and meet with them throughout the semester. Someone should be available to meet with students for 1–2 hours each week and serve as a point of contact to answer questions.

3. Evaluate project results

The team will present the project results to you and the faculty advisor. Your satisfaction is 50% of the project grade.

Clearly the students on our team were smart and talented but, beyond that, I was especially impressed with how attentive, curious, and professional they remained throughout the process.

I was extremely impressed with the students—their attitude, abilities, presentation, candor and dedication to the project. Their work will give WFHB food for thought for many months to come.
