Ivey Field Project  is a capstone course which examines several functional areas of business (i.e. new product launches, modifying operational processes or even the need for a structured employee recruitment strategy). There will be a team of six students dedicated to doing over 600 hours of strategic consulting on the project. The team will work closely with the client contact or an assigned senior executive in the company who will provide insights, information and details producing a comprehensive project result. The team will undertake primary and secondary research and as such may need some direction internally. Completion of the project includes delivery of a final written report and presentation to the client.

We have students in three main programs: HBA (Honors Business Administration) MSc (Master of Science in Management) with three distinct streams/specialties: 1. Digital Management 2. Business Analytics 3. International Business MBA (Masters of Business Administration)

These consultancy-like project are designed to provide students with an opportunity to apply business concepts, principles and theories that they have acquired throughout their program to in a real-world setting with a partnering client. Students work in teams with a client to identify and scope a strategic issue, opportunity, challenge, or problem and develop solutions that will contribute to the success of the organization.   Clients and projects are developed and scoped at a high level to determine their fit with the student groups and appropriate timeline for participation (July/August). Organizations are not limited and are able to submit proposals in strategy, sales, marketing, data analysis and operational planning.   Students may be eligible to apply for a research project elective credit by submitting an application to the academic director. Given that the projects are outside or students regular schedule curriculum and an additional engagement, this would require organizations to contribute x dollars in order to participate in the project.  

Western University's Ivey Business School presents an unparalleled opportunity for employers to collaborate with our Master's 2nd-year learners enrolled in the Ivey Digital Innovation Studio (IDIS) course. Our learners are equipped with the knowledge and skills to propose groundbreaking uses of emerging technologies within real client contexts. By participating in this experience, employers will not only benefit from fresh perspectives and innovative ideas but also contribute to shaping the future of digital innovation. We expect employers to engage actively with our learners, providing guidance, necessary information, and constructive feedback throughout the project duration. Employers are encouraged to be virtually present at the final presentation where learners will showcase their innovative concepts and findings.
