6.8 Remind Students to Think of Themselves as Consultants
One of the key benefits of an experiential field project for both client and student is the opportunity to add
value through innovative recommendations. Students should be encouraged to examine areas of client operations
that could be run more efficiently or effectively within the scope of the project being performed. The client is
generally quite pleased to have students act as “fresh eyes” and offer suggestions for operational improvement.
Client satisfaction can be improved if the client feels students performed above expectations and offered useful
suggestions. Hence, student groups should be encouraged to act as “consultants” and offer recommendations as one
of the deliverables. However, ultimately it is up to the organization whether to implement the systems being
developed and to act upon recommendations being made by student groups.
