Company Project (CAP)

Team work

The CAP, conducted in a team of 5 to 8 participants during the first part of the program, is a strategic analysis of a company of your choice, along with resulting recommendations. It is done under the supervision of an advisor who offers guidance with regards to the methodological aspects of the project. The CAP leads to a written report and oral presentation in front of an appointed jury comprised of at least three members who are either faculty members or corporate executives.

Strategic recommendations

The CAP consists of analyzing a company’s positioning in its industry, and formulating strategic recommendations. By completing this exercise, you will:

• establish concrete relationships between the concepts and methods studied during the program and current real-life strategic and managerial issues;
• conduct a comprehensive study, encompassing the diverse elements of the program;
• reaffirm your skills in negotiation, collaborative behavior and leadership;
• develop both written and oral skills in presenting the results of your work.

The written report must feature the audit results and conclude with strategic recommendations, supported by an action plan, which attests to the feasibility of the recommendations.

Final Individual Project

Your individual project

The FIP is an individual project conducted during the second part of the program which consists of recommendations for a key development aspect of your company or professional project.

It is also done under the supervision of an advisor who offers guidance with regards to the methodological aspects of the project. The FIP leads to a written report and oral presentation in front of an appointed jury comprised of at least three members who are either faculty members or corporate executives.

The company is not represented at this oral presentation, although you may provide the company with a copy of the report at a later date.

Strategic recommendations and action plan

The capstone project of the Executive MBA program, the FIP will enable you to validate individually what you have learned during the program and to encapsulate this in a professional project. Your analysis will culminate in strategic recommendations substantiated by an action plan.
