02.01.2022 The 2020 edition of the Global Microfinance Case Competition (GMCC) served to be the largest yet. The GMCC had firmly established itself as a premier student-run competition that engaged students across eight universities around Australia and New Zealand through its sustained success over 8 years. This year, the Covid-19 pandemic presented new challenges and the team looked to embrace these and pursue new avenues of impact and collaboration. Converting the competition into a ...virtual format allowed the inclusion of 7 additional international partners across Asia and North America, taking the total to 15. With over 200 case submissions, the competition reached new heights and provided a platform for the world’s brightest young minds to compete. Our case client this year was the Manila Microfinance Foundation (MMF), an institution adapted from our own experience, research and understanding of the current climate. Created by both our Operations and Initiatives teams, and designed by our Communications division, the case tasked teams to identify the major challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, and suggest innovative solutions that would not only allow the firm to provide but concurrently prepare them for future success. The most successful teams balanced commercial success with ethical and cultural considerations, a delicate balance that was truly appreciated by audience members and judges alike at the Global Finals. Overarchingly, all teams involved should be commended for their amazing submissions our screening committee continually remarked on the undeniable quality on display through each round. The highly thought out proposals also intrigued the array of industry judges from Kearney, McKinsey & Co., Deloitte Digital, GSANZ, ygap and the University of Melbourne. The Global Finals were successfully held over Zoom, with the following finalists: 1. Mirage Partners, Nanyang Technological College (Prize: $1000) 2. Coldstream Consulting, University of Sydney (Prize: $500 & fast-tracked to the Kearney 2021 Summer Internship) 3. Team NCPG, Nanyang Technological College (Prize: $250) We would also like to thank all of our university partners, without whom the size and success of the competition would not have been possible. Hope to see you next year! - Angus Kennedy (GMCC Director 2020)
