Give your MBA and executive students a real engagement - not a case study.
Project Northstar puts teams in the seat of an Engagement Manager with AI-powered clients, live scoring, and a board presentation.
Developed and delivered by former McKinsey Engagement Managers
Case studies, role-plays, and subjective assessment leave a gap between classroom learning and real consulting practice.
Students read, discuss, and present. Nobody practises the actual skill: communicating with real stakeholders under time pressure.
A facilitator can play one character. Consulting Blueprint runs 12 AI-powered stakeholders simultaneously across 4 or more teams.
Facilitators assess on feel, not evidence. There is no consistent standard, no audit trail, and nothing for students to learn from after the session ends.
Each workshop mirrors a compressed consulting engagement - from brief to board presentation. Students navigate real ambiguity, manage difficult stakeholders, and defend evidence-based recommendations.
Teams receive the engagement mandate and client background
AI stakeholder conversations and data requests scored in real-time
Evidence building and hypothesis testing with live data
Structured deliverables scored against an MBB-grade matrix
Live board presentation with facilitator grading and AI commentary
Every workshop is facilitated by a former MBB consultant. We handle everything - briefing students, running the simulation, coaching in real-time, and delivering structured written feedback.
"You control the pace, inject pressure, and debrief with data - not anecdotes."
Students manage a live inbox, interview AI-powered characters, unlock data through the quality of their communication, and defend recommendations to a boardroom - guided throughout by experienced MBB consultants.
Every engagement is scoped to your cohort size, academic calendar, and learning objectives. Pricing is agreed per institution - not per seat.
