On Monday, 6 July, I participated in the RBS Business Simulation Game, as part of the International MBA. It was an interactive and engaging experience that brought theoretical business concepts to life through practical application. The simulation challenged participants to apply both strategic and lateral thinking, balancing short-term revenue and margin objectives with decisions that would drive sustainable long-term growth and strengthen the company’s equity position.
The competition was dynamic, with teams adapting their strategies as the simulation evolved. The winning team demonstrated the value of making short-term sacrifices to achieve stronger long-term outcomes—a well-deserved achievement. Congratulations to them.
I was pleased to finish in second place with my team and, more importantly, gained valuable insights into strategic decision-making. The experience highlighted several areas where I can further refine my approach, reinforcing the importance of continuous learning and improvement in complex business environments.
