- What you expect to learn
- The EY Case Competition was centered around digital transformation in banking. I was able to gather knowledge of various banking systems and processes in the technology sector and how customer information was processed. Our team was able to come up with solutions related to change transformation and how updating present technologies such as legacy systems would enhance the overall customer banking experience. I also learned how to be consulting-oriented in this role since we were proposing our solution as EY employees. Our team placed 2nd overall in the case competition.
- How the activity relates to coursework or your career goals
- This activity relates to my career goals since I do want to go into the consulting field. After getting into the top ten teams, we were able to network with a team of professionals from EY to discuss improvements in our case. Having that analysis done right in front of me only furthered my career ambitions in this field. Regarding course work, we discussed legacy system upgrades in MIS 2901 and MIS 2402. I developed a further understanding of the pros and cons of such drastic system transformation.
