Linking this pathway to non-corporate world and to business with purpose
Non-corporate pursuits
- Start-Up: As a strategist, either in the role of an advisor, working closely with the founder(s), or even founding your own startup, you’ll gain the necessary skills to develop startup strategies and business plans, as well as the tools to execute them.
- Scale-Up: A professional in this pathway can intervene at the scale-up level, where companies need strategies and execution abilities at scale.
- Freelance: Consultant opportunities include providing services in strategic/business feasibility analysis, organizational assessment, design and development, as well as any of the typical services and expertise provided by a management consultant.
Purpose in this pathway
- NGOs/Social Orgs: Professionals in this pathway can work with NGOS and social organizations to ensure they rethink their strategy, which might involve going fully digital, or transforming the way it operates so it can expand abroad, for example. The possibilities are limited only by your own imagination and ambitions.
- Sustainable Business: Professionals in this pathway leverage their lab experience and what they’ve learned from program electives to help businesses build sustainable strategies going forward.
