Part overview

This part, you’ll take everything you’ve learned so far and apply it to a real client brief. It’s your chance to show your creativity, problem-solving skills, and professionalism by producing a structured consulting proposal.

You’ll define the problem, develop an innovative, AI-informed solution, and communicate your recommendations with clarity and confidence. By the end of the part, you’ll have a draft report that demonstrates how you can think – and communicate – like a consultant.

Learning objectives

By the end of this part, you’ll be able to structure a consulting proposal that clearly defines a client’s problem, presents evidence-based recommendations, and integrates AI tools effectively.

You’ll also learn how to write a professional report that communicates your solution with clarity and impact.

Week deliverables

Your deliverable this week is a 1,000-word written report outlining your consulting proposal.

This should highlight your understanding of the client’s challenge, your recommended solution, and how AI adds value to your approach.
