The Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa, in partnership with Export Development Canada (EDC) and Deloitte present the 7th Annual MBA Diversity & Inclusion Case Challenge.
At Telfer, we are committed to creating a competition - and stimulating a conversation - about diversity and inclusion. This year, we are elevating the conversation to the next level - challenging all of us to reimagine how business might address wicked, global problems - for a more inclusive and equitable future. Together, through the challenge, we will create an experience where we connect deeply with one another as leaders and human beings; learn new ways of doing business, where inclusivity is at the core; and network, collaborate, and share our best insights for driving real impact and change.
MBA teams consisting of 4 members per team from different Canadian Universities.

This case challenge gave me the opportunity to not only refine my critical thinking and presentation skills, but it also allowed me to have a great time connecting and learning from like-minded individuals.

Taking part in Telfer’s MBA Diversity & Inclusion Case Challenge was one the most rewarding and exhilarating learning experiences. Not only were we given the opportunity to address real D&I issues faced in today’s workplace, but we also had the chance to meet leaders from various organizations and hear from experts working in this field to make a difference.
