Team member 1 - Steven Chan:

Struggling over the same project for half a year could be excruciating and tedious in most cases, but this time it is different. Back in February 2009, when we first submitted our registration form, we never have imagined that this slight possibility of winning would turn into reality! We are the GBC global final champion of 2009!

The first and foremost attribute of this competition is its versatility. The nature of competition itself, the pool of participants and panel of adjudication offers such variation!

Eight country finalists in teams of four took the stage to stake their claim to being the inaugural champions  of the CIMA Global Business Challenge at the National University in Singapore on Friday August 21st. The teams were trying to impress the judging panel consisting of Simon Hurst FCMA - Executive Director, Goldman Sachs in China, Karina Davies - Director of Sales & Marketing, Swissotel Singapore, Vince Cook - CEO, Islamic Bank of Asia, Richard Soh - CEO, SMa School of Management in Singapore, Ray Perry - Director of Brand, CIMA and myself.
