Consultancy

The Association of MBAs is committed to helping institutions continually develop the quality of postgraduate management education worldwide. To this end, the Research & Consultancy Centre offers a consultancy service for business schools looking to develop their offerings.

Drawing on the Association’s Faculty of Assessors and in-house experience, the R&CC can provide a range of advice on a multitude of areas. Our consultancy services are aimed either at schools with a long-term aim of achieving accredited status, or at any school (accredited or otherwise) wishing to develop a specific area of its postgraduate general management portfolio.

The main consultancy packages include:

Consultancy Type	Brief Description	Fee Guide*
Gap Analysis	For schools with a long-term aim of achieving accreditation. The consultancy team will assess the school’s current MBA portfolio in light of the current accreditation criteria, outline the gaps between the two, and suggest recommendations for closing this gap.	£10,000
Establishing a DBA / MBM	For schools without such programmes, wishing to utilise the Association’s experience to develop high quality programmes with the potential to meet the Association’s accreditation criteria in the longer term.	£10,000
Strategic Audit	A full audit and review of a business school’s strategy and alignment with its mission, including the way this impacts on its programmes and the extent to which future plans will be affected by resources and other constraints. At least three consultants will form part of any strategic audit team.	£20,000
Programme Development	For schools already holding an accredited MBA. This service would consider one aspect of the school’s provision (such as alumni, curriculum, or internationalisation) and provide specific advice and recommendations to assist the school in achieving best practice in this area.	£8,000
Bespoke Services	The R&CC would be happy to provide a quote on any other consultancy project within the area of quality in postgraduate general management education.	£To be quoted
