Grad School, Bank Merger Simulation

So this is my amazing group that powered through the simulation of two Banks Merging for our Strategy 619 class. Pretty cool 3.5 hour simulation where you have a virtual office and laptop and emails and meetings and try to keep 13 people (CEO's, CFO's, HR director, IT etc, PR, Media, Govt Rep) from each company from strangling each other or hating you as you decide which branches to close, who to fire, which systems to keep, how soon to do it, and how much money it will cost. yikes. wow. Check out the whiteboard after all that...


So we mapped all their opinions and relationships out on the whiteboard and went to work! )Yes I think I ate the entire time.) Really cool learning experience, and a great group. Kate and Nat are so great, and Shani (blond) I'll love forever, and Michael Tanenbaum and I have jammed and played and worked together on so many things. Surround yourself with greatness!
