The case championship “Business Solutions — Result Technologies” was held at the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. It was organized by the Center for Team Building and Project Solutions of IPMEiT together with the international company “First Bit”. Multipotential teams of IPMEiT students presented their solutions to the expert jury.
The event was opened by the Director of IPMEiT Vladimir Shchepinin: The case championship is held as part of the interaction between IPMEiT and employers. The main goal of this interaction is to reduce the gap between the education system and the requirements of the modern labor market. The key goal of today’s event is to give students from different fields of study the opportunity to solve an important practical problem formulated by the employer. Today, students will demonstrate not only their significant skills to a professional jury, but also prove that any complex problem must be solved comprehensively, multi-faceted, by different specialists. This academic year, IPMEiT will defend 21 projects as final qualifying work at the request of the employer, where in this way it is no longer a separate case that is solved, but a complex problem of the employer. Students develop programs and program portfolios to improve the activities of real enterprises. We hope that the strategic result of today’s event will be long-term cooperation with the international company “First Bit”.
Leading HR manager of the company “First Bit” Egor Mkritchyan, thanking the organizers of the championship, emphasized: Our goal is to build a bridge between the theoretical knowledge base and practical skills that are in demand in the labor market. Such events contribute to this.
Tatyana Chernyak, the First Bit project manager for work with universities, analyzed the teams’ work and noted: We are happy to provide students with the opportunity to work on real business cases. This became possible thanks to the support of our employees. It is nice to see how students confidently answer complex questions and do not get lost in difficult situations. We strive to continue to support students in solving current problems and implementing projects so that they enter the labor market with confidence and readiness for any challenges.
The case championship became an important stage in the process of training highly qualified specialists ready for the challenges of the modern market. IPMEiT students were able to apply the acquired knowledge in practice, gained experience working in a team and learned how to effectively present their ideas. The participation of representatives of the First Bit company gave students the opportunity to communicate and exchange experiences with representatives of real businesses and learn about the prospects for cooperation with the company. All teams were awarded diplomas and memorable prizes.
The winner of the case championship was the team “PoliMind” under the leadership of Associate Professor of the HSE IPMEiT Yulia Akimova. The jury members noted the systematic, comprehensive approach and the deepest understanding of business processes in the performance of this team. The second-degree winners were the team under the leadership of Associate Professor of the HSE IPMEiT Sergey Krasnov. The jury members noted the strategic vision in solving the case. The third-degree winners were the team under the leadership of Associate Professor of the HSE IPMEiT Alex Krasnov. This team received the audience sympathy prize “Case of Sympathy”, established by the Center for Team Building and Project Solutions, for the most original and creative approach.
Deputy Director of IPMEiT Anna Chernikova emphasized: IPMEiT has long been an innovative platform where new interesting approaches and projects in educational activities are tested. Training multipotential teams is one of such educational innovations. Within the framework of the case championship, several important tasks were solved – to implement the format of project work at the request of a qualified customer, to demonstrate the possibility of implementing projects by multipotential teams and to receive an assessment of the training of our students. I believe that such events are not only interesting and useful, but are a necessary element of the educational process.
