Avente Consulting, in partnership with UOB-SMU AEI, is SMU’s first consulting CCA which focuses on helping SMEs adapt to the changing digital landscape through implementation projects.
The name Avente is derived from the Latin word “Aventus” which means “knowledge, discovery and success” and “Ante” which means “forward”.
This reflects our club’s continuous pursuit of knowledge through conducting workshops to equip student consultants with technical skills.
We also aspire to be forward thinkers to achieve growth and success through the implementation of innovative solutions for SMEs.
Our Club’s mission is to be a leading business consulting club providing innovative, sustainable solutions for SMEs whilst possessing strong credentials of achievement.
Our Club’s vision is to equip students with a curious, problem solving mindset which explores digitalisation drivers through our case pedagogy. We enable these students through initiatives that target holistic personal growth.
Creating a Community of like-minded and driven individuals
Being Humble and listening to others’ opinion
Have big Ambitions and to commit wholeheartedly to achieve our goals.
Being Transparent and open to voicing opinions and giving feedback
At Avente Consulting, we recruit highly passionate and driven students who are looking to explore the management consulting industry. After a rigorous 14 week curriculum, they are assigned to a SME client with our parent organisation, UOB-SMU Asian Enterprise Institute for a 20 week engagement or compete in a National Case Competition.
UOB-SMU Asian Enterprise Institute (Avente’s parent organisation) works closely with SMEs and scopes out consulting projects that are implementable by SMU students.
Avente Consulting crafts a curriculum and reaches out to industry partners to engage them as our speakers in order to equip members with members with business case solving methodologies alongside MarTech implementation knowledge.
SMU students can join Avente Consulting as a Student Consultant trainee where, upon completion of the curriculum, they become student consultants who will take on the AEI consulting projects. Alternatively, students can join as an AMP member where they will be mentored while planning, organising and executing Avente’s key flagship events.
