Company Consulting Project (SESAME 2022)

Once again, the SESAME project was successfully carried out at our Barcelona campus, with the participation of two companies and 30 MSc students per company.

As this year’s partner company, we were joined by BTHT Partners, a specialist network of healthcare experts offering a tailored and flawless service to its clients, with Alexis Capelle as their representative. On the other hand, we had Oportunitas, a social microfinance company, which provides training and accompaniment, with Francesca Malizia, as their representative.

Phases

For 15 days, the two groups had the guidance of two TBS tutors and access to the representative of the company assigned.

During this time, the first phase was a presentation of the companies, giving the students the opportunity to clarify doubts according to their company. 

Afterwards, the second stage was a diagnostic phase where the students conducted a strategic market study, analyzing the position of the company according to its sector.

Finally, the project culminated with a recommendation report from the students, proposing strategic actions to benefit the growth of the company, in response to what the companies raised them previously.
