Has the COVID-19 pandemic impacted your business in a big way?
Are you fighting against the difficult economic conditions?
If so, Cambridge MBA students are here to fight with you, and help your organisation tackle immediate crisis management issues alongside longer term, strategic decisions about your future.
MBA students offer free consulting services
Following the more than 25 pro-bono consulting projects completed as part of the Cambridge Judge Against COVID-19 initiative in the first lockdown in 2020, piloted by MBA 2019 students Srishti Warman and Matt Lisonbee, current Cambridge MBA students are looking forward to continuing this initiative to help businesses in need cope with the current economic restrictions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Does your company need help with crisis comms?
Do you need help to research new opportunities?
Do you need analysis to support strategic decisions?
Cambridge MBA students offer to apply their professional experience, MBA learning and networks to undertake short-term, pro-bono consulting projects for UK businesses, to help withstand the current period and plan for the future.
This project offers:

- Total working hours of around 15 hours per week
- A small team (three to four people) of Cambridge MBA students, with professional experience relevant to your needs, to consult for your business on a theme of your choice
- Project theme to be set by you: possibilities are to deliver short term goals (such as adapting your social media presence) to contributing to longer term strategic decisions (such as developing new business models for online delivery of your service/product)
- No fee to your organisation
