Business Consultancy Project: Strategic Analysis, Stakeholder Evaluation and Evidence-Based Recommendations
This Business Consultancy Project assessment requires students to produce a professional 5,000-word consultancy report addressing a strategically important issue, challenge or problem facing a client organisation. The project must normally continue from the topic and client proposed in the earlier Consultancy Project Proposal, ensuring continuity between the proposal and final consultancy work. The assessment is designed to replicate professional consultancy practice through independent research, critical analysis and the development of actionable recommendations. Copy of Apr 25 Onwards brief_EE… Copy of Apr 25 Onwards brief_EE… The report begins with an Executive Summary, followed by an introduction and company/client overview. Students must define one clear business problem, establish the overall project aim and purpose, and specify the consultancy focus, which may relate to areas such as strategy, human resources, marketing or sustainability. The selected issue should be clearly connected to the organisation’s wider strategic and industry context. Copy of Apr 25 Onwards brief_EE… A dedicated Stakeholder Analysis section requires identification and evaluation of internal and external stakeholders. Students must assess stakeholder interests, influence, expectations, conflicts and power relationships, and are encouraged to apply a framework such as Mendelow’s Matrix. The purpose is to show how stakeholder dynamics influence the consultancy problem and the feasibility of proposed solutions. Copy of Apr 25 Onwards brief_EE… The largest section is Data Analysis and Framework Application, where students critically evaluate secondary evidence and apply two or three relevant management frameworks. Suitable approaches may include SWOT, PESTLE, Porter’s frameworks and the Balanced Scorecard. The analysis should incorporate credible company and industry evidence, Excel outputs, tables or charts where relevant, and connect patterns in the data to strategic, operational or HR implications. Ethical and sustainability considerations should be embedded where appropriate. Copy of Apr 25 Onwards brief_EE… The project concludes with three prioritised and evidence-based recommendations. Recommendations should be practical, justified, risk-aware and linked directly to the findings. Students must explain expected benefits and demonstrate how the proposed actions create strategic value for the client organisation. Copy of Apr 25 Onwards brief_EE… The final assessed section is a 500-word Employability Reflection covering skills developed through the project, application of theory to practice, professional behaviours, personal strengths and weaknesses, career relevance and specific future-development actions.

Enhancing Sustainable Supply Chain Practices through Digital Transformation: A Case Study of Unilever Plc
This consultancy project proposal examines how digital transformation can enhance sustainable supply chain practices at Unilever Plc. Unilever is presented as a multinational fast-moving consumer goods organisation operating across more than 190 markets, with a complex global supply chain and sustainability commitments linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The proposal focuses on the challenges associated with achieving supply chain transparency, managing fragmented sustainability data, and balancing sustainable sourcing and operational costs. The project investigates how emerging digital technologies, particularly blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), could support greater transparency, traceability, operational efficiency and sustainability within Unilever's supply chain. The organisational analysis identifies issues including the complexity of tracing raw materials across multi-tier supply chains, fragmented procurement and sustainability information systems, and the tension between sustainability investments and short-term operational costs. The proposal also considers infrastructure readiness, data security and employee upskilling as factors affecting digital transformation. The research aims to examine how digital transformation technologies could improve sustainable supply chain planning at Unilever while supporting long-term business and environmental goals. Three objectives are established: examining sustainability challenges affecting Unilever's global supply chain, assessing how blockchain, IoT and AI could improve transparency, traceability and efficiency, and proposing strategic recommendations for integrating digital innovation into Unilever's sustainability framework. The central research question examines how digital transformation can contribute to an ethical, transparent and sustainable supply chain while maintaining operational efficiency. A qualitative exploratory case-study research design is proposed. The main emphasis is on secondary data, including Unilever's annual reports, sustainability information, digital transformation publications, company news, industry articles and analyst reports. Where feasible, primary data may be collected through semi-structured expert interviews and a short qualitative questionnaire. The proposed analysis includes thematic analysis, document review and descriptive statistics using relevant secondary numerical data. Validity is supported through triangulation, while reliability is addressed through consistent coding and an audit trail. The proposal also addresses ethical considerations, including research integrity, transparency, confidentiality, informed consent, anonymity, GDPR requirements, plagiarism avoidance, Harvard referencing and potential corporate bias or greenwashing. Overall, the project explores the potential contribution of digital innovation to Unilever's sustainability objectives and the wider responsible digitalisation of the FMCG supply chain.

The digital poster should communicate the research plan clearly and demonstrate data analysis and data presentation skills through appropriate graphs, charts and tables. The final proposal should critically organise and synthesise information, provide a clear conclusion, and maintain professional academic standards. The recommended structure consists of a cover page, table of contents, list of abbreviations where appropriate, introduction, critical discussion of challenges, research aim and objectives, application of research methodologies, ethical considerations, research plan, critical organisation and synthesis of information, conclusion, references, the Consultancy Project Proposal Digital Poster and appendices where required.
