The University of Hong Kong Branch
180 Degrees Consulting HKU was established in 2015. Since then, we have served more than 22 projects with local and multinational socially conscious organizations, including the World Green Organization, Crossroads Foundation and Amnesty International Thailand. We maintain a balanced exposure to a wide range of project scopes, allowing us to diversify equally and maximize our impact in the long-term.
The two strategic pillars that drive our branch are:
1) Maximize positive impact and benefits to our clients; and
2) Maximize learning exposure and developing to our members.
This approach defines how we develop and provide our services – from how we select our consultants, to how we manage our client relationships, as well as the standard of our final deliverables for every engagement. We live these principles in our day-to-day operations and decision-making.
Being at the core of our value delivery, our consultants are carefully selected top students from various academic backgrounds with a combination of expertise, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. With a focus on developing and up-skilling our consultants through comprehensive training, we aim to nurture long-term members who are eager and qualified to provide high-quality, professional and consistent expertise to our clients with project management experience and a high degree of social awareness.
We approach all of our projects through a systematic, end-to-end consulting process, drawing from consulting frameworks and concepts by the Boston Consulting Group, Accenture, and Nous. We lead our clients through a well-researched and thought-out path of identifying, analysing and prioritizing problems, leading eventually to pragmatic and actionable recommendations that take into account constraints faced by our partner organizations.
