At just 14 years of age, Suvir Mirchandani could have saved the US federal and state governments up to $400 million per year with his recommendation that they change their font type from Times New Roman to Garamond.

 

Suvir is a sixth-grade student at Dorseyville Middle School in Pittsburgh and made the calculations for a school paper, which has now been published in the Journal of Emerging Investigators.

 

Suvir was quoted as saying, “I recognise it’s difficult to change someone’s behavior [but] I definitely would love to see some actual changes and I’d be happy to go as far as possible to make that change possible.”

 

Very impressive work. Suvir sounds like a natural born management consultant.

 

Do you think a traditional management consulting firm would come up with this kind of insightful recommendation?
