Among the hustle bustle of the B-school life, silence is a rare trait. With students competing for the limited air time in every class its extremely difficult to have them listen instead. But this is exactly what was achieved by the 3 of the biggest consulting firms of our era at the recently concluded IE Consulting Day. Organized by the IE Consulting Club, the event brought together consultants from Accenture, Booz & Co and Capgemini for an evening of presentations, discussions and networking. With the increased focus of IE students on consulting as a future career option, this event helped them gain a much deeper understanding of what the industry has to offer and how some of the big firms operate their business. At the same time it also introduced some of the higher up reps in these companies get a taste of the strong consulting talent that has been developing in the shadows of one of the top 10 b-schools in the world.
For a long time IE has been a popular choice for junior consultants in order to receive their MBA and progress further along their career path in their respective companies. The consulting club through the help of these students and its imminent faculty has conducted in the past half year several events to hone the consultants within the new students. The consulting day was a way for the IE consulting community to show-off what they had achieved and for the companies to entice them even further by giving them a glimpse of life as a consultant.
