Dear Ychallengers,
Christmas was around its corner with its loving warmth while we gathered on a sunny Sunday morning at 116-118 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai St. on the eighteen of December to be impressed by the short and sweet presentations from our 4 Champions and then engaged in the insightful and inspiring sharing from the passionate speakers during the panel discussion. Many people from different backgrounds and interests (business people, students, working professionals, media, families of contestants etc…) were there with us to share a vision – to build a playground and a lively connections between Vietnamese businesses and young talents local and overseas.
Ychallenge 2011 has made this vision closer to reality by enabling a channel for the 8 Finalists to convince the management at top corporations in Vietnam that we youth are serious about making an impact and we can do it, with passion and with what we’ve learnt. On the other side of the coin, Ychallenge 2011 also proves that management at top corporations are very open to listening to us and supportive in providing opportunities for us to get real-life experience, to contribute while growing ourselves into more able men and women.
Well, in the end…
Team Real Deal has impressed the management from Becamex IDC with their comprehensive critiques of the current innovative master plan of Binh Duong New City together with their recommendation PERM to ensure the city grow sustainabily in the future.
Team IIPA has successfully convinced the management from PNJ with their detailed implementation plan to improve the launch campaign of Yabling including utilizing mobile apps for more interactions among end users of the products.
DARTeam has left the meeting room at Vinamilk headquarter in District 7 with a clear plan to bring Vfresh fruit juice to kids supported by hard figures and carefull considerations together with a lovely and colorful commercial ads, ready for implementation.
And Giành Chiến Thắng has truly won the hearts of the management at VNG with their engaging presentation on their proposed I square strategy with the suggestion to deploy tag to improve features for Zing Ads, making the service more relevant to users.
Points are taken. Ideas are absorbed and challenged. Feedback are considered. And most of people involved have thought the whole journey is useful and eye-opening to some extent.
And yet, as intended, the event is much less about honoring the Champion or expressing condolence to the Runner-up because at the very least, we all take home the EXPERIENCE, which we hope, a lasting one.
Ychallenge was a DREAM. And when many people dream together, it has become a REALITY. Congratulations and thank you, everyone who has been with us on this journey!
See you again, very soon!
Until then, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Keep up Yspirit!
Cheerios,
Ychallenge 2011 Team
