FIC Universal Case Competition Final Rounds

Team Stradition

The Summer 2016 FIC Universal Case Competition held the semi-final and final rounds today in SFU's Discovery Park. Registration started on time at approximately eight thirty in the morning. By which time, most of the competing teams were all ready and waiting in the waiting room. But due to some minor unforeseen circumstances the case competition only got going at about twenty minutes after nine in the morning. So, by the time we completed the semifinal rounds, we were about thirty minutes behind schedule.

Team Power Ninjas

In fact, except for being behind on the time, the organizers were very much in control and managing the event really well. While the presentations were going on, the project manager and the logistic director have been busy preparing for the awards ceremony at the end of the event. They were busy preparing the competitors certificates, gift cards, thank you cards, medals, ribbons and so on. The food for today's event was catered with Manis Malaysian Restaurant which was delivered on time at about noon.

Team FIC Action

From the initial twelve teams that made it through to the semifinals, only six teams were to progress to the final rounds. The presentation topic remained the same throughout the day and teams that proceeded were allowed to make minor changes prior to their final presentation. The case competition judges were responsible to pick the teams that were going through to the finals. And in the finals they were to determine the top three presenting teams based on different criteria which have been predetermined prior to the start of the actual case competition.

Top Speakers

This semester's FIC Universal Case Competition top three presentation teams were the FIC Action, Power Ninjas and Stradition. And like in every semester, the judges also got to pick three best speakers among all the presenters. The awards for the summer 2016 FIC Universal Case Competition best speakers went to Takunda, Vince and Linda. The top presenting team was team Stradition followed by team Power Ninjas and then team FIC Action in a close third. As far as I am concern, everyone was a winner in the Case Competition, similar certificates were given to each presenter and the team coaches of the FIC Universal Case Competition.
