Industry Insights 2020: Redefining Expectations was an insightful 2-day virtual event, filled with challenging and perceptive case studies curated by renowned partner firms such as Sunway, EY, Axiata, AirAsia, and Maybank, to test participants' ability in critical thinking, time-management, and creativity in problem-solving. Pre-event reports also gave an opportunity for participants to dive into the vast implications of the COVID-19 pandemic in various industries as requirements directed detailed research into areas such as smart city development, urban farming, digital finance, 5G transformation, and etc. I2 definitely redefined expectations of fully virtual events and overall served as a great platform for personal development as participants not only improved their cognitive abilities but also essential soft skills as online team collaboration played a crucial part in teams being able to overcome each challenge.

2nd Runner-Up | Team 7 @ Industry Insights

Enactus Nottingham Malaysia 

My team was given real-life business cases involving companies from different industries: automotive, telecommunications, fintech, and talent management. 3 hours were given to challenge our abilities to dissect these cases by identifying different problems and directions and to propose practical, robust and innovative strategies in order to tackle the most daunting issue which was then presented to key industry leaders in their respective fields followed by an interactive QnA session which tested our ability to think on our feet and justify the thought processes behind our proposition.

My team got into the semi-final rounds after getting 1st and 2nd place in the first two opening rounds. The 3 hour long cases included companies such as Ford, Telenor, and IIMJobs.com where we had discovered our potential when it comes to different roles in case cracking: strategist, financial analyst, slide master, marketeer and etc. Overall, it was an insightful experience and I would recommend other students to grab the opportunity to participate, although sadly past participants are not allowed to join more than once.

It was an earlier exit than we what hoped but this shouldn't bring us down too much. We did our best and that's all that matters. 

The only way to go from here is up!
