Solving problems
differently
The Business Challenge is a business simulation exercise designed to develop your business skills in building a business empire. To build your empire you will need to keep an eye out for the next big thing, find gaps in the market, and make decisions that have an impact on society and the environment. Each challenge is linked to a social endeavour where you will go through the entire design thinking process, from problem framing to solution design. Clues and insights are provided to help you complete each task. As you navigate throughout the Challenge, you will gain the tools and knowledge and play in a learning environment that will develop your skills to identify problems and think critically.
