COURSE DESCRIPTION

Accenture and BA Tor Vergata present for the academic year 2020/2021 the fifth edition of Accenture Public Management Consulting LAB: an initiative that allows students to be directly involved in consulting activities with a health and public service focus.

The design of this unique Lab gives students the opportunity to experience the working approaches and business style of one of the main global consulting firms, while at the same time gaining deep, practical knowledge in relevant public management and social innovation themes.

The LAB is an extra-activity, worth 3 CFUs, dedicated to Tor Vergata students, that they will be able to choose to complete the Master of Science in Business Administration. In case of continued suspension of in-presence lessons due to the contingent situation, all activities of the LAB will be held using distance learning tools and online platforms.

It is coordinated by prof. Andrea Bonomi Savignon and the BA specialization in Social Innovation & Sustainability, but it is open to all Business Administration students with a preferred lane for those who are in their 2nd year.

For the V Edition of the LAB, teams involved in the extra activity will work on projects revolving around one fundamental question: how to create effective public-private ecosystems to address post-Covid recovery and create shared and sustainable value?
