Columbia Business School students working with Patrimonio Hoy provided strategic consulting to enable them to improve their operations and grow effectively while still keeping their core culture intact.
The Columbia Business Student team worked with Patrimonio Hoy to improve their operations, grow effectively and keep their core culture intact. Patrimonio Hoy is a corporate social responsibility program that provides building materials and technical advice for housing improvement in Latin America. The team of students went to Guadalajara, Mexico to develop practical, concrete recommendations for Patrimonio Hoy to quickly implement. The Pangea Advisors used field visits, interviews, and data analysis to construct their presentation.
They encouraged Patrimonio Hoy to expand their network of partnerships, improve delivery of their projects, and increase employee retention. According to one team member, in constructing the detailed descriptions of these three crucial goals, the students “put classroom theory into practice,” and made “an immediate and lasting impact” on a great organization.
