On October 20th, 2015, ENSTA ParisTech and BEST ENSTA hosted the fifth edition of the Consulting Meeting. More than 140 hundred studends enjoyed the presence of four consulting companies : Deloitte, Accenture, Avencore and Solucom. Those four companies first debated within a round-table animated by Eric Godelier, head of the Social Sciences Department of the Ecole Polytechnique, and themed about the developpement of a matricial structure in a company. This roundtable managed to scope through the world of consulting, and fostered a rich debate with the attending students.

Following the round-table, the participants had a break around a buffet. Each company then held a case-study, allowing them to develop more about what they specifically do. The event, to which participated by students from ENSTA ParisTech, many other Grandes Ecoles from the parisian area (X, Centrale Paris), as well as students from the COSI Msc and international students participating in a week-long course on management, organised by BEST ENSTA, was again a real success, encouraging BEST ENSTA to organize it again in 2016.

On October the 20th, 2015, the fourth edition of the Consulting Meeting was held at ENSTA ParisTech. Five leading companies were invited this year : Accenture, A.T. Kearney, Atos, Capgemini Consulting and Stéria. The round table on the theme " What are the challenges faced by Consulting in times of economic crisis?" was moderated by Yuda Tuval, former president of KPMG France. Discussions between the representatives of the different firms created a large overview of the different skills required to be a consultant. After a buffet lunch, each firm presented a case study to about twenty students, allowing them to understand accurately the specificities of consulting companies activities. The satisfaction shown by the students as well as by the companies encourages us to host again the event in 2015.
