Le Club MBC

Club MBC is a lecture series whose goal is to facilitate conversations between consulting professionals and students.
The series is organized by the Business Consulting and Digital Organization program and MBC Alumni.  A Club MBC event is:

  • A presentation: One or more professionals in the consulting profession discuss a topic pertaining to the social / economic / managerial implication of new organizational management practices or technologies.
  • A reception: The presentation is often followed by a reception, which gives industry professionals, current students, and program alumni an opportunity to mingle.

The Observatory of Consulting Practices

Management consultancies are central testing grounds for new working and organisational practices. These are then at the heart of the consultancy services and the terms of engagement offered to clients. The Observatoire des Pratiques de Consulting (OPC) is co-directed by François-Xavier de Vaujany and Pierre Laniray. It enables the Master 128 - Master Business Consulting and Digital Organization - MBC and Université Paris-Dauphine to monitor the very latest trends in management consulting practices.

More generally, the observatory provides a critical and reflective study of consulting practices and their links with societal, political and environmental dynamics. The OPC is fed by fieldwork carried out by 128 students as part of three courses, by thematic research dissertations and by a network of management consultancy alumni and partners.

Alumni Testimonials

My name is Charlotte BENAÏCHA-TANQUEREL. I am currently located in London, where I have worked at BNP Paribas Investment Banking since the day after my graduation ceremony (in 2018).

After studying at Prytanée National Militaire and acing my Bac-S, I came to Dauphine to take the DEGEAD. I stayed until I finished my Master’s program! Five years! Who would have thought it? But I had the opportunity to do some of my studies abroad, in Canada. Indeed, I lived and studied in Montreal while working on a double degree. It was a very rich experience for me that allowed me to obtain a Canadian Bachelor’s degree in addition to my French degrees, which is a plus if you’re considering working abroad.

Those years studying obviously had a special flavor: I had so many experiences within the walls of the various lecture halls and courtyards of the 16th arrondissement in Paris: wonderful experiences, (crazy) laughter, stress, revisions, successes (and, let's admit it, some failures too).

My transition into the Business Consulting and Digital Organization program was a little out of the ordinary: I was still in Canada while the oral exams and Master’s program admission exams were taking place, and I wasn’t completely sure that I wanted to come back to France or to Dauphine (after all, why not try for one of the famous business schools like HEC, which was particularly well-known in my chosen profession?). I was taking classes abroad with students from those schools, and I took the opportunity to interrogate them about what more they offered, what was better about them. And then Université Paris Dauphine – PSL offered a work-study option: a similar if not identical academic curriculum, but with one major advantage: I could start working as early as the first year of my Master’s program!

I spent the first year of my Master’s degree splitting my time between classes, my role as cohort representative, and my position as a junior consultant with PwC in Paris. In my second year, I decided to investigate another company, which led me to join Accenture while also continuing to be a program representative and serving as president of the association. So, what did Paris Dauphine – PSL in general and my program in particular teach me? You shouldn’t ever be afraid of surpassing yourself, daring even when it seems impossible, and above all, working to achieve your goals!  Both the classes I took and student life at Dauphine encourage students to understand, analyze, and develop a sense of rigor: these are all essential traits in the world of work.
