Abstract:

We live in an incredible time of transformation for business, society and even the workplace. The emergences of cloud, analytics, mobile and social are driving leaders to reevaluate their thinking - to adopt technology as a strategic business driver rather than merely an enabling strategy. It's a shift that's transforming organizations, centered on their relationships with customers and the superior experience they deliver to them, and flows through every aspect of their supporting operations and culture.

The talk aims to provide students an exclusive platform to understand how the consulting profession solves real business challenges. From computer science, engineering, marketing, operations to design, students will see first-hand how their learning from different disciplines tie to the latest consulting capabilities.

IBM Global Business Services executives and senior practitioners from various specializations will share their experiences and insights on practical consulting topics. Students will get an overview of the consulting industry, core consultancy skills needed for success and the types of consulting solutions that adds values to companies.
