Connecting leaders to reimagine business for an inclusive and sustainable, global future.

$10,000 available in prizes to the top teams!

“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. Participating in this competition was definitely a defining moment of my MBA at Concordia and always grateful for all the learnings and opportunities that came from this case challenge.”

The University of Ottawa's Telfer School of Management, in partnership with Export Development Canada (EDC) and Deloitte presents the 7th annual MBA Diversity & Inclusion Case Challenge.

For the last 6 years, we have been 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 problem(s) - for a more inclusive and equitable future.  Together, through the challenge, we will create an experience where we:

1. connect deeply with one another as leaders and human beings;
2. learn new ways of doing business, where inclusivity is at the core;
3. network, collaborate, and share our best insights for driving real impact and change.
    

Live, in person, challenge in Ottawa Friday March 3rd and Saturday March 4th 2023 in Ottawa.
