An optional, hands-on track where small groups of participants build a real recommendation on a live battery industry question over the final weeks of the cohort, supported by the BatteryMBA team. It runs on Wednesdays, alongside the core programme.
See the public write-ups in the case study library. Full case study documents and internal presentations stay inside the programme.
Three phases across the last third of the cohort, with roughly two hours per week of group work outside the scheduled sessions.
Groups choose from a shortlist of real battery industry questions: gigafactory build-vs-buy, BESS revenue stacking in a specific market, second-life economics, sodium-ion qualification, and more. Each question is scoped so it can be defended in 12 weeks.
Teams gather public data, interview one or two industry contacts where useful, model the economics, and land on a clear recommendation with the trade-offs written out. The programme team reviews drafts and challenges the logic.
In the final week, each group presents to peers and faculty and takes questions. The written case study document is submitted alongside the presentation and archived in the cohort library.
Not a case study you read. A recommendation your group builds, defends and puts on your certificate.
Teams of 2 to 5 participants self-organise around a shared question and split roles the way a real project would: research, financial model, market view, recommendation.
Case Study Track sessions run on Wednesdays alongside the main programme, with weekly check-ins from the BatteryMBA team to unblock groups and pressure-test assumptions.
A 15 to 20 minute group presentation plus a written case study document (excluding exhibits), delivered in the final weeks of the cohort.
Completion of the Case Study Track is recognised directly on the BatteryMBA graduation certificate, alongside the core programme.
Full case study documents and internal presentations are not published. To work through them in depth, join the next cohort.
