    Project Background

    Microsoft, a global technology leader, has been at the forefront of innovation for decades. From its flagship Windows operating system to cloud computing services like Azure, and its growing portfolio of AI-powered solutions, the company has shaped how businesses and individuals use technology worldwide. However, with increasing competition from giants like Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Apple, maintaining and growing Microsoft’s market share remains a challenge.

     

    In this context, Microsoft is looking to enhance its sales growth across key product areas such as cloud services, productivity software (Microsoft 365), hardware (Surface devices), and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and mixed reality. The company is particularly focused on increasing penetration in specific regions and industries, while adapting to the ever-evolving digital economy.

    Young Leader's Challenge

    As a management consultant, your task is to develop a robust sales growth strategy for Microsoft. Your strategy must account for Microsoft’s current strengths and challenges, as well as the competitive landscape and evolving market dynamics.

     

    The goal is to provide a clear, actionable plan that will help Microsoft drive significant revenue growth in the next 3-5 years.

    Skills you develop in this project:

    • Data Analysis and Interpretation: Data scientists must possess strong analytical skills to extract meaningful insights from complex datasets. This involves gathering, cleaning, and processing raw data, then applying statistical and machine learning techniques to uncover patterns and trends. Students will develop the ability to interpret these findings and use them to inform business decisions or solve real-world problems.
    • Technical Skills in Data Tools: In this project, students will learn to work with user-friendly tools like Tableau or MATLAB to visualize and analyze data. They will develop the ability to create meaningful charts, dashboards, and reports, making it easier to interpret data trends and communicate insights without needing to write code. These tools help students turn raw data into clear, actionable information for decision-making. 
    • Critical Thinking and Problem Solving: Data scientists need strong problem-solving skills to design data-driven solutions to complex issues. This involves breaking down ambiguous problems into manageable components, selecting the appropriate algorithms or models, and continuously refining solutions based on feedback and performance metrics. Students will also learn to evaluate trade-offs between accuracy, speed, and complexity, ensuring their solutions are practical and scalable.
