Case Teams

Case Teams bring together 3-5 MBA students with nonprofit organizations to complete a one-semester consulting project. Students receive academic credit for their work, and each team is guided by two professional consultants from one of our partner consulting firms. Case Teams are a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience and develop strategy consulting, nonprofit management, and leadership skills and enhance professional networks while having real impact on a nonprofit organization.

New Sector supports Case Teams through three main avenues: initial kick-off training, weekly calls with project coaches, and an online knowledge base. Kick-off training introduces the teams to the nonprofit sector, nonprofit management consulting, and workplan development. Additionally, kick-off training is the first time each team meets their client and project coaches, and serves as the official start date of the project. Throughout the course of the semester, teams spend 1-2 hours per week with their professional consultant coaches, who help guide them through their project. Coaches offer advice on workplanning, project management, delivering presentations, and consulting best practices as well as feedback on deliverables. Finally, our Case Teams are able to build upon the talents of previous teams through our online knowledge base. The database provides additional trainings, example deliverables, case studies, and access to outside resources that assist teams throughout their projects. Please note that at this time this opportunity is only open to Boston-based students.
