Participants of start2008 can gain insight into what it's like to work for a strategy consultancy by working on a real project. Students, graduates and postgraduates work in small groups to analyze an international healthcare group's business processes. Experienced consultants help them develop a concept for reorganizing the value chain to make the client most competitive. The participants must then convince the client of their strategies in a presentation to the management board.

"The success of our projects relies heavily on our consultants winning the trust of our clients. This is why we are looking for consultants with personality. The combination of diverse talent and personalities produces creative solutions," says Dirk Reiter, member of Roland Berger Strategy Consultants' Executive Committee.

Participants can visit the Roland Berger headquarters in Munich and learn about potential career opportunities. A fun program in Munich and Tegernsee will allow them to network with Roland Berger employees.
