INSEAD MIMs Take On The Global Case Competition

MIM Students

This year the INSEAD Consulting Club launched the inaugural INSEAD Global Case Competition in partnership with McKinsey & Company. Current MBA and MIM students formed teams of three to five students and delivered six to eight slides on a specific problem chosen by the Leadership Team.

For this year's challenge, over 25 teams from all of INSEAD's campuses had the chance to design a strategy for the sustainable and profitable growth of either a traditional legacy bank or a digital challenger bank.

The initial slide decks were then sent to a panel of McKinsey consultants and industry experts. This year's problem statement offered a unique opportunity to dive into the landscape of an industry undergoing tremendous change and experience the work of strategy consultants for a week. After collaborating on several projects together already, and with confidence in our ability to challenge ourselves to bring the best out of each other, our team of MIM students seemed like the ideal group to undertake such a challenge.

After careful deliberation, we chose to define a strategy for the digital challenger Revolut.

Out of the 25+ teams, five teams made it into the final, including us as the only MIM team!

Prior to the final, these teams had the opportunity to discuss their presentations with a McKinsey & Company Engagement Manager who gave valuable feedback as to how to improve our pitches. Once we got to the final, the five teams presented their work to three judges from McKinsey & Company and JP Morgan. We ended up finishing in third place!
