Question 1
~ECTION ~
[100 Marks]
Management consulting is a professional service dedicated to helping organisations enhance their
overall performance. This is achieved through the objective analysis of existing business problems
and the subsequent development and implementation of strategies for organisational
improvement. Consultants provide specialised expertise, objective advice, and structured,
methodological approaches to tackle complex management and operational challenges.
a) Based on your knowledge of Management Consulting practices and your experience as an
employee (current or previous or if not imagine you are one), briefly describe what
services/products the organisation/company provides to its customers/society, why (the
reasons for this need) are these services/products provided, and how the services/products
are provided? Where are these services provided/products distributed and when (how often)
are these services/products provided? Briefly describe the context of your workplace (who
works there (demographic overview of the employees) . For confidentiality pu rposes, do not
identify the specific name of your workplace instead, rather provide a fictitious name. (15)
b) Develop a comprehensive SWOT analysis to establish the environment within which your
organisation/company is operating from .
(20)
c) Identify a problem at your workplace that could be improved or corrected using a
management consultant. Justify why you have identified this "gap". Once again, do not
identify the specific name of your workplace for confidentiality reasons.
(5)
d) Assume that you are a Management Consultant, and that this organisation approaches you
to analyse the problem that is identified in (c) above. You are required to present them with
a proposal for undertaking the project. Be specific, considering the workplace context you
have already described above.
