This paper describes the process of creating and delivering a consulting project for a completely online MBA class from initial data gathering, to project outline and final results. We share what worked in this process and its success from the faculty, industry partner and student perspectives. The bottom line, don't miss out on this type of opportunity even though it can involve a lot more work, the results are rewarding.
