Deakin Business Consulting Clinic is a hands-on small business consulting, work-integrated learning program that gives leading students real-world consulting experience, and provides small businesses with professional advisory services. Using a model known as the 7 Levers of Business Framework, student consultants assist their clients with a full 'health check' across the seven key profit drivers in their business. The consultants then work on the SME’s business and provide their client with a detailed strategic project brief, including a well-researched and planned project that they can implement to gain an immediate benefit for their business.
