Participant's Feedback

"The competition brought me outside of my comfort zone, gaining experience with real life business decision challenges, while learning about myself. I learned to resolve and present solutions to problems I had not seen before while working under very tight time frames and with people I had never worked before."

"As a novice in business case studies, the BCC was very challenging. I loved the energy of the teams and how everybody was able to contribute. The jury was tough in a good way as they tried to push and get the best out of us in both cases."

"Very well organised event, giving an opportunity to practice one's case analysis and interact with consultants."
