Understanding Intellectual Capital (IC) is one thing, but actually managing it and/or measuring it is another. In today's world, we hear of the types of brain-powered businesses (e.g. software, investment banking, professional firms, telecommunications, and health care). It wasn't until I came to Tepper that I realized I would be referred to as a "gold-collar" employee.
Being an analytical thinker is not new to me. Within my six years of work experience (as a consultant and systems analyst), there were many times I had to use my analytical skills to solve problems on a daily basis. But after my first year at Tepper, I realize there were many ways of approaching a problem and solving it. The difference between my IC before MBA school and after is that the problems I will face after graduation will be much more difficult and holistic in nature.
I recently accepted my offer to be a consultant for PricewaterhouseCoopers. As a consultant, I will be faced with client's ambiguity business problems. I am confident that the preparation I've received at Tepper will allow me to apply a framework to manage the complexity of these problems.
