Over the second weekend of August, Victoria Business Consulting (VBC) hosted five incredible teams from across NZ at our Pipitea Campus for a high-stakes business case competition! In just 5 hours, teams tackled the challenge of how KMD Brands can improve short-term profitability without compromising its long-term brand value or B Corp sustainability commitments?
With 10 minutes to present and a 10-minute Q&A with industry judges from KPMG and EY, the standard was nothing short of outstanding!
🥇 University of Auckland – 1st place
🥈 University of Auckland – 2nd place
🥉 Victoria University of Wellington – 3rd place
This event also marked the culmination of our trimester 2 development squad program, VBC’s flagship program for teaching the art of case consulting to new members. Congratulations to our Devo Squad winners , who claimed the coveted Berkers Shield!
A huge thank you to and for flying in to compete, and to for keeping our competitors fuelled. Thank you to Sebastiaan Pronk, Helen Shrimpton, and Holly Coates for taking time out of their busy schedule and judging. Finally a massive thank you to our VBC Exec team for running a seamless event from start to finish.
