The real-life student consulting project prompted us to undertake a thorough review of our existing management documents and to scrutinise and evolve our plans for the future. During the mutually beneficial collaboration, feasible approaches to solutions were developed, particularly in the area of organisational development. The project initiated some positive improvements in our organisation.
