MBA Presentation
MBA in International Management: ESCP Europe Business School
Group Presentation: Company Consulting Project
Final presentation of a Fall 2018 consulting engagement with the Tours, France Airport
"The ESCP Europe MBA in IM is, in a way, an evolution from ESCP Europe’s previous Masters in European Business program and provides young professionals with 3-10 years of work experience with the necessary knowledge, skills, and mindset to succeed in an international management career.
As members of this inaugural class, we have welcomed with excitement the Company Consultancy Project module. The Company Consultancy Project has enabled us to select and work with the Tours Val de Loire Airport (TVDL) at a critical time in the airport’s history.
From September 2017 through January 2018, we have worked hand-in-hand with a representative from the TVDL, ecosystem partners, third party consultants, local officials, ESCP Europe tutors, and our professor to establish multi-scenario financial projections for the airport.
Multiple work phases ensured results. Client and tutor kickoff meetings, followed by the utilization of business model canvas and fishbone analysis tools enabled us to understand TVDL and the industry overall, to deliver an exhaustive engagement proposal, which would govern our working relationship.
As we began to dive deeper, we analyzed 70+ client-provided documents, amounting to 2,000+ pages and researched benchmark data through databases such as Amadeus, Orbis. Additional client interviews supplemented this research, and all sufficiently prepared us to begin our data analysis.
For this analysis, we created 3 scenarios of 10-year financial projection. Rigorous excel work, and constant iterative verification with TVDL and third party consultants ensured the reasonability of our results.
These final results, summarized through this presentation, will next be utilized by TVDL to persuade further subsidization by the elected officials of the Tours Val de Loire region."
