The process

Step 1 - Agreement in principle to undertake a project.

Step 2 - Develop project brief
Whether you have clearly defined objectives and deliverables, or just a vague idea of the issue you need addressing, we can help you develop a brief that will give you the outcome you want.

Step 3 - Submit your brief
We will choose the most appropriate student group for your particular business needs. Wherever possible we will try to match the students' professional and/or personal background to your organisation's aims and requirements.

Step 4 - Begin your project
It is up to you how much time you commit during the project but we recommend regular dialogue to check the team's progress and discuss any issues. The more time you put in, the better outcome you'll get.

Step 5 - Get the results
Your student team will present the outcomes of their research to you. This will be followed up with a formal report. You will be asked for your feedback on the project as part of our commitment to continually improving the project for future clients and students.
