The London School of Economics: strategic insights for its portfolio of master’s degrees 

Service tags: Transformation, insight 

We helped The London School of Economics (LSE) strategically evolve its portfolio of post-experience master’s degrees.

At a glance

The project: Critical market research for LSE’s global portfolio of post-experience master’s degrees.

 

The issue: LSE needed strategic clarity for their portfolio direction and was working under a restrictive deadline.

 

The solution: Thorough analysis delivered as actionable recommendations, a digestible report and a series of clear presentations. 

 

The result: LSE’s senior management buy-in and confidence in embracing the recommendations and actionable insights to evolve the portfolio of post-experience master’s degrees.

Don’t take our word for it

I led the project team from the LSE side and was impressed with both the approach by and deliverables from Capstone Consultants. 

I couldn’t have imagined a more effective and expert team than Helen and Leyla as the primary partners. They really went out of their way to understand and then take responsibility for delivering to our objectives. And they went the extra mile in a compressed timescale to deliver research, analysis, and recommendations that were thorough, strategic, authoritative, and actionable. 

Crucially for any successful change project, LSE’s senior management and, importantly, the Program Directors of the dozen EMScs embraced the recommendations, facilitated by a digestible report and a series of effective presentations by Helen.

UCL’s School of Management is on a major growth trajectory. Recommended by my peer colleagues at other institutions, we first worked with Capstone in 2024 on a research and consulting project designed to help us with forward-planning. Through their thoughtful and thorough analysis we were able to make strategic decisions as a senior management team which were based on a realistic view of the global market, and our place in it, and which resulted in the appointment of a new key member of staff.

“From market research to recruitment services, strategic consulting to customer journey planning, we have worked with Capstone to support us in developing world-leading practices in our student recruitment. We feel confident in working with them as their ambitious and positive approach matches our own, from undergraduate programmes right through to executive degrees.”
