A reflective report that demonstrates your understanding of the business consulting concepts and approach. Specifically, in your report discuss key learnings you have acquired over the course to this point and consider what impact this has on your practice as a manager. Consider theories, new skills, insights, new practices, new conversations with other class colleagues that have challenged or even changed your thinking. Consider also any impacts that any aspect of the course has had on the way you are thinking and behaving as a manager in a business consulting situation. Such events as meeting the client and potential first site visits can be very different from attending class. This is a real-world engagement. What might be valuable about this process? How is this possibly a benefit to your practice as a manager? Consider in your reflections what researched resources might provide further insights to your reflection. In other words what can you discover from articles on the internet and internet more generally from reliable business media resources insights to support your new view of your practice?
