Intro to Problem-Solving & Consulting Skills

Leveraging Seraphin's experience in consulting for a Fortune 120 biopharma and a med-device start-up, along with his knowledge base from a Top 20 MBA program, this workshop is designed to provide students with a practical understanding of how consulting frameworks can be applied to real-world problems.

Workshop Content:

These frameworks are used by top industries and schools around the country, including MBB management consulting, commercial biopharma, and internal strategy at large retailers.
