Management Studies Tripos (MST) Project

Having partnered several times before, we knew the MST project offered a clear and well-organised framework for collaboration. From the very first meeting, working with the students was a positive experience, as they came well-prepared and asked targeted, thought-provoking questions on our goals and vision for the partnership. Their enthusiasm and forward-thinking approach shone through, resulting in a final outcome that brought fresh ideas with a strong understanding of our company’s direction.

Working with both the students and the team at Cambridge Judge Business School was a real pleasure. The students were open, curious and full of energy, bringing fresh thinking and real commitment to the project. They worked hard, asked well thought out questions and delivered thoughtful insights grounded in solid research. The Business School team made the whole process smooth and well-organised, always easy to deal with. We would be very happy to get involved again.

Working with the Cambridge Judge students was a delight – they were enthusiastic, thoughtful, curious and thorough. The work they presented was creative and insightful, and they operated with a perfect balance of independence to drive to their own conclusions, while collaborating with the business to ensure their proposal resonated. The results they shared have been integrated into ongoing strategies and we're looking forward to working with teams in the future!

This is the second year that we have worked with students at Cambridge Judge Business School, and both times it's been a great experience. We've been pleasantly surprised by the professionalism with which the students managed their consulting project; the process was smooth and well-structured right from the start. Consulting for a growing firm, the students were able to work directly with the Directors, but at the same time maintained their independence in taking the work forward. They delivered quality outputs and their final presentations have provided us with new insights that our architectural practice is currently acting upon. We are very much looking forward to working with MST students again in future.

Throughout the process, the team performed amazingly, taking on a wealth of information and complexities to properly understand the problem and deliver a powerful tool and framework to allow us to attack one of our core business challenges. They acted professionally and utilised a range of different approaches, data sources and analysis techniques to provide some great recommendations on how we can improve our processes, which had clearly been carefully considered alongside their in-depth research. We look forward to future Cambridge Judge Business School projects with similarly great teams.

We have worked with Cambridge Judge Business School over several years and the quality of the work the students have delivered has been first rate. The students have always been diligent in their approach and get up to speed very quickly, we are always impressed with their grasp of the background of our business and the quality of their output. The whole process is very well managed, the teams communicate regularly on the approach they intend to take the project, the progress that they’re making and the challenges. Without exception the students work incredibly hard in very tight timescales to deliver real value. We look forward to continuing our relationship in future years.

Partnering with Cambridge Judge and the MST students was a brilliant experience; our 3 students embedded seamlessly into our company, had great energy and were incredibly bright. Producing a final piece of work that genuinely adds value to our commercial and strategic planning going forward.

Having worked with Cambridge Judge Business School over 2 consecutive years, we have been thoroughly impressed by the MST students. Both groups were able to take a complex challenge and deliver actionable insights and recommendations that we have already brought into our work. The students were collaborative, communicative and enthusiastically engaged in the topic areas throughout the project, and delivered professional, high-quality final outputs. A particular highlight each year was the meaningful discussion following the students’ final presentations, where it was clear the teams had truly grasped the challenge at hand and could reflect on our questions with an in-depth and robust understanding. Clear communication and expectations from Juliet and the Business School made our experience of being a partner seamless. It was a true pleasure to work with Cambridge Judge students, and we look forward to engaging with the MST project in the future.

The students were a breath of fresh air; their enthusiasm and rigorous intellectual engagement with the issues raised by the project contributed to a valuable learning experience for both us and them. We have subsequently retained one of the team members to further develop and implement recommendations made by the team. Juliet at Cambridge Judge Business School did a great job explaining what was expected of us as project partners and ensuring the process of participating was smooth and straightforward. We will certainly consider participating again.

We have partnered with Cambridge Judge Business School now for several years, and always look forward to the MST project. The students are highly professional, engaged, and able to grasp the issues at stake very quickly. The MST partnership programme itself is very well organised, and we have been consistently impressed by the teamwork, research, analysis, and presentation skills demonstrated by the student teams we have worked with. The quality of the final report produced has been excellent, often providing valuable new insights for the team.

The professionalism the students showed from the first meeting and all the way through the project was fantastic and far beyond their years and experience. The speed at which they were able to grasp the complexity of the problem and fully comprehend the wider industry was very impressive and it ensured they were asking the right questions at the right time. The output, as a result, was brilliant and has already been considered by wider stakeholders throughout the business. We are excited to work with the students again in the future.

The team was very smart and motivated, they had a very good mix of skills and showed great maturity and professionalism. The quality of their work was on a par with that which we would expect from experienced consultants.
