Looking for fresh blood – case study at SGH
Last Wednesday was the day when I could finally see the show I was preparing for the whole week going live. Not only see, but rather perform part of it.
Actually, we had a kind of pilot day before, but three people that you know are different than an audience of 35. SGH audience especially, even if it’s my university after all.
What a relief to have it done. I’m not a natural presenter and you never know if you didn’t make some mistake with numbers when you generate some complicated scenario. So there was some nervousness because of this, but in the end, everything went fine. I would even say flawlessly.
And the feedback was also awesome- 100% participants think the case was well prepared. Most want to work for us after the case. And, well, one person definitely doesn’t want to work for us after the case. Overall, high grades in all areas.
It turned out the students appreciated our experiment to give a kind of “lecture” part before actual case study work. The idea was to pass on some knowledge and methodology that we normally use, so they can feel how the real work looks like. We thought there is a risk that they would be bored, but they weren’t. Feedback show they appreciated learning something they didn’t know.
Do they agree that they saw how consultants work? Now they don’t. They think it’s much more difficult than that. One more proof that SGH guys are smart:)
In line with company’s tradition, every relevant partner was soon informed about this newest business consulting success story and lots of appreciative patting on the back followed.
