Bissett Consulting Organization

Mount Royal University
Built to build consultants.

A student-run organization founded in 2025 to bring real consulting exposure — competitions, workshops, and industry connections — to MRU students.

Who Are We?

The Bissett Consulting Organization (BCO) was established in September 2025 to bring consulting to Mount Royal University. Over the summer leading up to its founding, we noticed a gap on campus. MRU has many talented and ambitious students, yet there were limited opportunities for those interested in consulting to explore the field or develop the necessary skills. BCO was created to bridge that gap.

Our mission is to provide students with the exposure, training, and experience needed to pursue careers in consulting and other strategy-focused roles. Through a combination of educational events and hands-on learning opportunities, BCO helps students build the analytical thinking, communication, and structured problem-solving skills that define successful consultants.

BCO's core programming focuses on three key areas. We host events that introduce students to the consulting industry and provide insight into the profession. Our case workshops help members develop the frameworks and problem-solving techniques used by consulting firms. Finally, our case competitions allow students to apply and sharpen these skills in a competitive environment.

As the organization grows, BCO will also provide pro bono consulting opportunities, allowing students to apply what they learn to real-world business challenges while delivering meaningful value to organizations in our community.

BCO aims to build a community of driven students who are committed to learning, collaboration, and solving complex problems.

Our events

Three flagship experiences, each designed to build a core consulting skill.

Corporate Strategy Summit

BCO's inaugural event, held in mid-February and open to all MRU students. Through industry speakers and real-world insights, attendees gain exposure to how strategic decisions are made while developing problem-solving skills and professional connections. Designed for students eager to explore consulting, build a strategic mindset, and learn directly from industry professionals.

Corporate Strategy Summit

Case Workshop

Held in mid-March and exclusive to BCO members, the Case Workshop is an interactive training session designed to build confidence in consulting-style problem solving. Participants learn how to break down business cases, apply common frameworks, and communicate structured recommendations. Hands-on and beginner-friendly — ideal for students preparing for case competitions or consulting interviews.
