The 2020 Stéphan Crétier Foundation Case Competition

On Saturday February 15th, 12 teams, 9 judges and 55 participants came together to compete at The Stéphan Crétier Foundation Case Competition

Every year the MBACCC hosts an internal case competition to give MBA students the chance to try out the case competition experience. For the past few years, the Stéphan Crétier Foundation (GardaWorld) has sponsored the competition and presented a live case for participants to crack. This year, the case was centered on a rebranding and marketingy strategy for the new TalentWorld division of GardaWorld.

On Saturday, February 15, Louis Garceau, VP of TalentWorld Canada gave a presentation full of important insights on the Canadian labor market and where the strengths of the TalentWorld division lay. Teams were then divided into 4 different divisions, and given extra time to prepare their presentations. Each judging panel featured a representative from TalentWorld or GardaWorld, an experienced case competition coach and an industry specialist.

Over 55 MBA students participated in this case competition, representing the largest number of teams entered in the Stéephan Créetier Foundation Case Competition to date, and a noteworthy conclusion to the Foundation’s sponsorship commitment to MBA students.

With so much talent present, the judges had to make some tough decisions when selecting the top 3 teams.
