About the Challenge
Which day are the weekly masterclasses?
We're doing things differently this year! We will be complimenting the live sessions with online learning so there will be a mix of live and recorded sessions. Live sessions will be primarily on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but be sure to check for email reminders and the website for all information.
What time are the weekly masterclasses?
For live sessions, we will be holding two time choices for the London challenge and one for Boston. London will usually be at 11am BST and 4:30pm BST, and Boston at 7pm EST. The sessions on September 30 and November 4 with our client will be held at different times. As always, be sure to read our emails carefully and check the website for any notifications.
How will teams receive instructions throughout the challenge?
We will regularly send emails to students and team leaders with information as we go through the challenge steps.
Are masterclasses recorded?
Yes, masterclasses are recorded and shared with students within 48 hours of the masterclass finishing.
Is the Future Leaders Challenge for academic credit?
No. It offers something beyond that—the opportunity to gain live-client consulting experience working on a challenge for a global company.
When does the Future Leaders Challenge start?
It starts on Tuesday, September 30 with the challenge launch event.
When does the Future Leaders Challenge finish?
It ends on Friday, December 12 with final presentations.
