CASE COMPETITON

The Schulich Consulting Club is excited to host a dynamic case competition virtually at UCC this year.

 

Competitors will have the opportunity to enhance their problem-solving and critical thinking skills as they navigate a complex case under 36 hours. The 36 hour pressure tank will challenge competitors to distill their visionary ideas and strategies into actionable solutions, and then present their solutions to top consultants in the industry.

 

Prior to presenting, the top teams will be given an invaluable experience to gain personal feedback on their solutions from top consultants. Thank you to McKinsey & Company who is our sponsor of the case competition and will be judging the final round.
