“Capstone Consultants have partnered successfully with us on large-scale projects over a number of years to which they always bring professionalism and expertise, along with a ‘sleeves rolled-up’ attitude. 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.’

‘King’s Business School engaged Capstone for two years when our Executive Education open programmes portfolio was first launched out of Bush House, and at a time when we were in a start-up position, looking for rapid growth. We secured their expertise and practical experience of high-touch executive student recruitment to help us bring the portfolio to the market and to recruit the first cohorts of executives onto a number of programmes. Capstone were really positive and energetic partners throughout this time, giving us a strong foundation for growth, and since then our executive education programme portfolio has gone from strength to strength.’

‘Just as we moved from being known as the University College of Estate Management to the University of the Built Environment, I chose Capstone Consultants to deliver a strategic and market research review of our unique specialist MBA. I had worked with them successfully at a previous institution and I was aware of their extensive expertise in the post-experience education market.  The work they undertook, a 360-degree review including B2B and B2C markets, gave us important insights and helped our decision-making relating to the future direction and development of our programme, as well as practical considerations related to our recruitment and alumni services.  The data and analysis that they provided allowed us even better to understand our place in the market, and make long-term plans for future successful programmes and I would not hesitate to recommend them as research and consulting partners.’

“Henley worked with Capstone Consultants as recruitment and consulting partner, with a focus on cohort recruitment across our broad portfolio of executive education, coaching, and Global and Flex EMBA programmes, as well as our market research partners for our Corporate Learning Survey. They blended seamlessly with our own professional teams, at all levels, and matched our focus on providing high-touch and high-quality professional recruitment services to our executive participants, corporate customers and students. Capstone excelled at combining its own expertise and experience in the business school market with a deep and strategic understanding of Henley’s unique approach to offering executive development and degrees that have real leadership impact.”

 

“The Wadham Experience is an innovative and new kind of programme. An intellectual retreat developed by Wadham College at the University of Oxford for leaders, thinkers and doers, that spans the humanities and encourages participants to bring new critical and creative thinking to bear on their own challenges and goals. The Capstone team have been with us since our launch in 2024 and has brought business development and marketing expertise along with their positivity to this entrepreneurial project, which, alongside the Wadham College team, has resulted in a successful launch of the brand and the recruitment of international participant cohorts onto three programmes. Our plans for the Wadham Experience are very ambitious, and we feel confident that Capstone will continue to deliver with passion and energy for future iterations.”

“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.”
