step 1

 

 

At Hilltop, we work on semester-long projects. After welcoming you to the client group for the semester, we’ll assign you a dedicated Project Manager to listen to the issue your organization is facing, lead a team of 4-5 consultants, determine the scope of the project, indicate objectives and relevant metrics, and communicate with you frequently throughout the semester.

 

 

step 2

 

After gathering initial research and becoming subject experts in your organization’s field and challenge area, your Hilltop team will construct a Midterm Presentation complete with research, analysis, and next steps. This will be a chance to sit down with the team, ask questions, and determine priorities for the remainder of the semester.

 

step 3

 

By the end of the semester, your Hilltop team will have isolated the problem and devised an innovative and implementable strategy to resolve pain points. In the final presentation, you’ll see an overview of the research and analysis the team has done, a thorough group of takeaways and conclusions, and an introduction to the deliverables the team will have prepared for you, ranging from marketing materials to cost structure analyses or fundraising tactics.

 

 

step 4

 

 

After the semester ends, our clients stay in touch with the Hilltop community by engaging with us on social media, contributing to a guest post on our blog, returning to campus for events and panels, or keeping in touch with their Project Manager.

 

We also always reach out to clients for feedback about their experience with their Hilltop team.
