A business case is a document that encapsulates a company’s problems, an overview of the industry, the company’s position in the competitive landscape and financial situation. It also comes with an appendix of additional data and financial statements meant to aid the reader’s understanding and analysis of the company.

Our members will have to analyse the information given in the business case, along with secondary data, to come up with feasible and innovative solutions for the company. The team will learn through presenting and defending their proposed solutions to a panel of senior members. Senior members in the club – who often come from diverse professional backgrounds like Tech, Finance, Consulting, FMCG etc. will then give concrete, actionable feedback to juniors.

We believe that this is necessary to ensure high quality deliverables and high training standards. As the school commits to members’ development in the club, we do our part by training hard and performing well during competitions. The commitment level of the club is also a small glimpse of how future working life would be, which is in line with how we train our members to be career-ready individuals. Some of our members are able to handle Cognitare and other commitments like Muay Thai or Dance. It is difficult but it is not impossible. A good dose of time management and prioritization will help you balance your external commitments with Cognitare.

We understand that as Year 1s, a business case is very foreign to you. This is why we look out for more innate qualities like critical thinking, natural business acumen and the ability to convey your ideas clearly and concisely.

Additionally, commitment and grit are also key values we look for. We would love to learn more about what drives you as an individual to see whether you are a good fit for the club.
