The fifth round was the most interesting one as it involved a rigorous case study in three completely new and unrelated businesses and required me to research in depth on enablers like Internet of Things & Analytics. Apart from brainstorming sessions which were arranged with CBC executives at timely and extensive secondary research, I took guidance from some of college seniors working in CBC. I also discussed my ideas with my friends who had worked in the industries at hand. One valuable feedback I got from my mentor was regarding the presentation. The presentation should have a visual appeal which allows any layman to understand a complex issue in a minute; to solve which you had taken 10 days. So, I invested two full days going through the final presentation, tweaking it to look like different CBC client presentations I could find on Internet.
The CXO challenge was an experience of a lifetime. Within 4 weeks, I had interacted with top decision makers of a reputed consulting firm. My ideas were verified and fine-tuned by top level strategists in the consulting industry. I had been mentored by a CXO team and got to present my case solution to the Director of CBC. Winning the event was the cherry on the cake!!
