Background context and your project team
You are a graduate consultant at Newton, supporting a project for Rivermere Health & Care Partnership. You will analyse evidence, work with colleagues to understand different stakeholder perspectives and turn your findings into a practical recommendation for the client.
Welcome to the Newton From Data to Decisions Virtual Job Simulation! We are thrilled to have you here.
Newton works with organisations facing complex, high-stakes challenges, combining rigorous analysis with hands-on client work to turn recommendations into measurable, sustainable improvement. Consultants look beyond the numbers to understand how work happens in practice, what prevents people from acting, and how change can be implemented successfully.
During this program, you will step into the shoes of a Graduate Consultant at Newton and join a fictional project for Rivermere Health & Care Partnership. You will work with operational data, client reports, stakeholder perspectives, and competing digital options to understand why the organisation’s information is not supporting reliable day-to-day decisions.
You’ll build key skills in:
Analysing imperfect operational data and identifying meaningful patterns
Combining quantitative findings with stakeholder and process evidence
Diagnosing root causes and comparing practical digital and AI-enabled responses
Communicating a clear recommendation and planning for adoption, ownership and measurable impact
We hope this program gives you a valuable opportunity to build your confidence, strengthen your resume and experience how Newton consultants use data, judgement, teamwork and client collaboration to solve real operational problems.
Use data, stakeholder insight and digital thinking to turn an operational challenge into a practical, client-owned recommendation
