The Sauder School of Business at UBC is once again excited to announce that applications for the Community Business Project program (CBP) are open for 2021. The CBP provides organizations with free business consulting from teams of highly motivated Master of Management (MM) students.
Since 2011, CBP has partnered with over 100 local organizations, many of them returning each year for support from MM students. This past year, the students worked on a value proposition/operational model for the BC Children’s Hospital Digital Lab, a virtual event strategy for the Sunshine Foundation of Canada and a monetization strategy for Reusables Co. To take advantage of this program, all you need to do is submit a project through the application form on the program website.
