Spring 2020 Pre-Capstone
We worked in the spring with a prep challenge for an award-winning Boston architecture firm, Bruner/Cott, who recently designed the Smith Campus Center. We helped them to put in place an entrepreneurial management driven strategic agenda. Students had three visits with the firm’s leadership to learn how they operate, then presented on how the firm can make improvements. Their Principal Jason Forney gave us a progress update based on given advice, and praised the experience. They were actually implementing precisely some of the proposals, which was very exciting.
Summer 2020 Capstone
During the summer we worked with the City of Malden, MA on a multi-stakeholder consulting project exploring how to revitalize the area and cultivate a gaming/dining destination. Stakeholders included the Malden Mayor’s Office, Chamber of Commerce, Boda Borg, and citizen activists. The final report was well received, however it’s too early to state actions yet.
