MBA to Independent Consultant
How to provide trustworthy & relevant
guidance & support
1
Design Thinking Action Lab -- Ideate
STAKEHOLDER
A woman in her late 20s is finishing grad school (MBA) while working part time. She is
self-aware, personable (very skilled at networking) and an active learner. She has a
talent for creative marketing and storytelling. She wants to work as an independent
consultant after graduating, but feels uncertain about pursuing this path and perceives
many challenges with doing so.
NEED
She needs a way to get trustworthy guidance and support that will help her (a) assess
the viability and attractiveness of working as an independent consultant; (b) find, win
and deliver projects successfully; and (c) perform administrative tasks that are
essential for her business.
INSIGHT
Despite her obvious talents, she has found it difficult to find steady, meaningful, good-
paying project work. She wants to focus on doing creative/strategic work (her
strengths) and avoid getting bogged down with administrative or low-value tasks. She
lacks experience in many of these areas. As an independent, she feels like shes on her
own and has found it challenging to find resources and/or mentors who can help.
2
INSIGHTS
 Many more people are working as independent consultants 
including some people just starting their career
 This path has many challenges
 How to find & win project work
 How to deliver the work
 How to get paid by clients
 How to get (and pay for) administrative support
 How to price services
 How to write proposals and contracts
 How to get mentorship and coaching thats relevant to her consulting
projects
 Schools provide very little guidance or tools for pursuing this path
