Case Study: Genentech
Learning ways to accelerate and manage innovation
Seeking to bring the plant’s management team together to develop common skills and learn ways to accelerate and manage innovation, Genentech called on the UC Davis Graduate School of Management. The firm has been a GSM Business Partner since 1998.

Case Study: Moss Adams
Becoming trusted advisors by connecting with their clients on a deeper level
One of the largest regional accounting firms in the U.S, approached the UC Davis GSM in Spring 2011 to build a Custom Program for their Senior Managers and Accountants. Our task was to help them connect with their clients on a deeper level, moving beyond expected technical relationships to become trusted advisors. Moss Adams wanted their teams to provide clients with advice and support on facets of their business beyond the usual scope of accounting and auditing.
