The business world is your classroom
An internship experience should grow skills, push you on real experience, and stretch you past what you thought were your limits. Strategy Sprint does just that – you get dedicated pre-project training from former MBB consultants, and then are staffed on an actual consulting engagement.
Your project manager is an MC coach and former MBB consultant, and you are one in a small team of analysts, each doing your own workstream – meaning your inputs will make or break the project. There’s nothing like the thrill of arriving at cutting-edge insights for a client that is hungry for answers.
Training
What do you need to know to be an all-star consultant? We'll take you through 1 day of immersive training to help you build core consulting skills like analysis, presentation, and more. Plan to carve out 3 hours for the training session.Experience
During project week, we launch you into the real world. You are staffed on a consulting engagement for an incredible organization facing a real strategic challenge with measurable impact. For example, last year, an internship team created over $2M of impact for a web-based business based in California.Mentorship
You get plenty of rope to run your own workstream, but we don't leave you alone to sink or swim. Each consulting team is managed by an ex-MBB consultant. You'll get five 1:1 meetings with your mentor (M-F of project week) and 4 group check-ins to ensure you are on the right track. Your mentor will also join your final presentation on Friday!I just did the meatiest part of a summer program at a top consulting firm and I must say, Strategy Sprint really prepped me well and helped me stand out as a top performer on my team for the workshop. The project leader told me my approach was most similar to what they use at the firm! Thanks so much for all your help!!
We kick off with 1 day of virtual, interactive training led by Jenny Rae Le Roux, a former Bain consultant and world-renowned consulting skills trainer. We'll cover building blocks like Accelerated Excel, Pyramid Principle, Data Insights, and Executive Presentations.
Whether you are a student or mid-career switcher, you'll gain the skills needed to succeed as a consultant.
Many organizations offer consulting classes, but when firms look at your resume, they value actual experience more.
You can't claim to have built consulting skills without, well, actually consulting. We'll run super fast, so you'll make mistakes and your analysis might be messy - but you'll get feedback. At the end of the week, you'll get to offer real-life implementable suggestions - for a client that sorely needs it. Now that's the kind of experience that looks great on a resume and sounds great in an interview.
Experience coupled with mentorship is the most powerful form of learning. That's why your small team is led by a former McKinsey, BCG, or Bain consultant. You'll have a 1:1 check-in with that consultant each day of the engagement, as well as a broader team-wide strategy session.
Learn firsthand how an MBB consultant approaches data, manages a client, and drives a project forward.
Before Strategy Sprint, it was hard for me to imagine what the day-to-day tasks of a consultant are like. This program taught me the basic skills needed as a consultant and provided me with real-world experience putting them to use!
