The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Produce a board-ready 3-year IT strategy that consolidates a fragmented estate and ties every investment line to a measurable business outcome.
This is not a case study exercise. It is the work a consultant does when a client needs a recommendation backed by evidence. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates recite Porter's Five Forces and none who have built a recommendation a client would actually pay for.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Translate a fragmented IT estate into 5 strategic themes
- Tie IT investment to measurable business outcomes
- Apply IT-portfolio rationalization to legacy plant systems
- Communicate IT strategy in CFO-defensible language
