”It was a very interesting and highly gratifying experience. Not only I did I grow professionally, but I also developed personally through learning about the client’s business and meeting great people!
I believe the biggest client impact of this consulting project was not even the budget model and other documents that we delivered, but it was giving our client a business like way of thinking about the
organization to ensure its sustainable growth and performance.”
