(NWA calls this “fly before you buy.”) • Guaranteed satisfaction: Clients don’t need to pay if not satisfied.

Even though I had strong work experience before joining the program, I was able to learn more about new and different industries. The support and knowledge received from the CCE directors not only allowed me to grow in a professional and technical way but also in a personal matter. The methodologies I was exposed to, the experiences I shared with the CCE team and the extensive information that the group has gathered increased my ability to take on any challenge to come. Additionally, the exposure to upper management of some of the largest companies in the USA was a unique experience. The network that I was expose to is one that hardly comes in a lifetime all at once and it is one that I will have for ever!” Dan Gainor (’03) – “The CCE experience helped me develop my project management, business analysis, and presentation skills -- and develop a set of “consulting” skills useful for any position. I recommend the Carlson Consulting Enterprise to anyone interested in developing problem solving and project management skills quickly without spending years in a consulting firm. The CCE gives MBA students the opportunity to be involved in a series of high-level engagements with a level of responsibility that most new MBA employees do not see for years.” Page 6 TheThe CCECCE hashas successfullysuccessfully ccompletedompleted aa numbernumber ofof significantsignificant consultingconsulting engagementsengagements …… • PricewaterhouseCoopers – CIO • Guidant – Vice President of Manufacturing • Northwest Cargo – President • Carlson School of Management – Dean • Cargill – Vice President, Food Systems Design • Marvin Windows – Vice President of Operations • Marvin Windows – President • Ecolab – Vice President of Manufacturing • Donaldson – Vice President, Manufacturing and Director, Logistics and Global Procurement • Carlson Hotels – CIO • Carlson Hotels – EVP, Sales • 3M – Six Sigma Blackbelt • Rimage – President Page 7 …… withwith goodgood reportsreports fromfrom ourour clients.clients. “Just had an opportunity to scan through the work -- first impression is excellent work-spot on.

The approach was fresh and innovative … a blend of business/academic insight gave more breadth … [the] Carlson Consulting Enterprise work [has] the same standards we expect and see from any consulting firm we have employed. I look forward to ongoing work with your team.” Lee Sparks, Director, Supplier Development, Guidant CRM “CSOM Consulting provided FSD with exceptional analytics for a quick-cycle project. The work helped me prepare for a customer visit that has progressed into further discussions. I look forward to leveraging CSOM Consulting in the future when the need arises. Thanks!” Vice President, Food Systems Design, Cargill “PRTM recently pursued a major engagement at a leading retailer in collaboration with Carlson Consulting. The PRTM/Carlson partnership makes great sense in project environments that will require heavy analytics and focused research. Having access to a leading academic institution enables Carlson to provide research talent and perspectives that far exceeds what is available in the public domain. Also, the Carlson Consulting Enterprise provides high quality resources at an attractive value point, which helps to boost the overall effectiveness of our joint offering. We found the two Carlson resources to be bright, competent and very energetic individuals. Peter Wietfeldt, Partner, PRTM “Northwest Airlines Cargo has supported the Carlson Consulting Enterprise (CCE) since its inception , and we have worked closely with them on several important projects. Their model of using exceptional students and professional directors backed by the resources of the entire Carlson community really works. The results have been valuable, and the experiences have been educational for both the CCE students and the NWA Cargo professionals. We plan to accomplish more projects in the future by working with CCE, and we look forward to a long and mutually-beneficial relationship.” Jim Friedel, President, Northwest Cargo “You did an awesome job.
