The Cambridge Judge Against Covid-19 consulting project is a student-led initiative and not part of the formal MBA qualification.

The Cambridge MBA students are offering advice on crisis management as well as longer-term strategic decisions in dealing with the pandemic, including:

  • crisis communications
  • researching new opportunities
  • analysis of key decisions.

Small teams of three or four students are offering to work 20 to 30 hours per week for up to three weeks, at no cost to the business.

Cambridge MBA students have backgrounds that include accounting, finance, engineering, sciences and the arts.

“We feel the plight of businesses and are keen to contribute using the skills and experience we have,” says Srishti Warman (MBA 2019), student project co-lead.

“We’re ready to work with you to shape your needs – let’s fight together,” adds Matthew Lisonbee (MBA 2019), student project co-lead.
