Dear Graduate Students,
We are excited to announce a new partnership with Business Analytics Bootcamp (B.A.B). Starting this summer, we will be working with B.A.B to offer exclusive info sessions and workshops to help you:
- Understand what Business Analytics is and how it impacts consulting and other industries
- Increase immediate career potential by acquiring in-demand skillsets through case-based workshops
Analytics has become an in-demand skillsets in many industries, especially management consulting. Many firms, such as BCG, McKinsey, Deloitte, have created new teams to bring Analytics into traditional engagements. In recent years, these firms started hiring and investing aggressively for hybrid talents, who are savvy in both business and technical analytics.
Here are some observations and examples:
- BCG Gamma, McKinsey Analytics, and Deloitte's Strategic Analytics & Modelling are among the highest growing teams by headcount
- Active acquisition of analytics firms in recent years, such as McKinsey acquired QuantumBlack and BCG bought stakes in TSG Consulting
- About 70% of the most-read publications among top firms last year were Analytics related
- "You will be a formidable strategy consultant (or business professional) if you can understand both strategy and handle technical analytics ... when we hire people today, we look for people who can code, not just in Excel, but databases and machine learning to enhance our strategy study." - Michael Boricki, ex-BCG Partner

- Info Session on Business Analytics in Consulting + Networking: 6pm-8pm, June 29th, MSB2170 (Free to attend)
