Every major business decision starts with a question. The Strategy & Consulting specialisation trains you to ask the right ones and to turn the answers into action that drives real impact.
Your future in strategy and consulting
The best consultants combine sharp analytical thinking with the ability to lead people through change. This specialisation prepares you for roles such as strategy consultant, management consultant, business analyst or corporate strategist, at leading consulting firms as well as within in-house strategy teams across all industries. With a strong command of strategic frameworks, game theory and organisational dynamics, you will be ready to advise on complex decisions from day one. This specialisation also sharpens the broader leadership skills that underpin any senior management career.
The success of our alumni
From boutique advisory firms to the world’s most prestigious consultancies, graduates of this specialisation have established themselves as trusted strategic advisors at the highest levels of business.
Jan Bakker, an EBS alumnus, built a career at Monitor Deloitte, where he rose to partner. Severin Achenbach, also an EBS alumna, went on to join Bain & Company, one of the most prestigious strategy consultancies in the world. Their career paths demonstrate the significant advantage that a strong grounding in strategic thinking and analytical problem-solving can offer.
Think strategically and lead change
The Strategy & Consulting specialisation at EBS trains you to navigate the most demanding challenges in modern business. You will explore the strategic, organisational and cultural dimensions of change management, developing the leadership skills needed to guide organisations through uncertainty. Alongside this, you will examine the legal frameworks that shape corporate decision-making, a critical but often overlooked dimension of strategic leadership.
A distinctive element of this programme is its focus on game theory and strategic interaction. You will learn to model competitive situations and use those tools to anticipate outcomes in pricing decisions, negotiations and market competition. Through case studies, group work and individual essays, you will build the analytical rigour and communication skills that define effective consultants, leaving you well-equipped to make an immediate impact wherever your career takes you.
