Past clients rave about the experience of working with CASE i3CP, saying:
“In addition to the students' substantive contributions to the work itself, everyone on our team sincerely enjoyed interacting with them at every turn. They lifted us up! They brought insights that we wouldn’t have been able to uncover ourselves. They made our team better, and we're grateful.”

“The CASE i3 team operated at the same level as any high-quality professional consultancy. They came to every meeting prepared and with specific objectives. Their work product was of the highest quality, and their team dynamic was positive and a pleasure to interact with.” Laura Payne, Builders Vision

“Working with the Case i3 MBA students was a dream - they were thoughtful, communicative, thorough, and utterly brilliant. They understood our very complex product and portfolio structure, got to work quickly, and added value immediately. I am confident that the final external product we produce with their work will be infinitely better because they helped us put it together.”
Caitlin Rosser, Director of Impact Management, Calvert Impact

Projects take place during the academic year, with MBA teams working with clients remotely from Duke University in Durham, NC. Each team is directly supervised by Cathy Clark, an experienced Duke faculty member and Director of CASE i3.
