What is Business Battlefield?
Business Battlefield is a sprouting organisation consisting of volunteer students who aim to inspire, challenge and Shape the Leaders of Tomorrow. The organisation is part of the society CBS Case Competition and was founded back in 2017. As part of the Organising Committee (OC) behind Business Battlefield, you will take part in organising the annual event taking place at CBS in November 2021. Here, teams of ambitious students will battle against each other in exciting challenges to test their leadership skills.
The first week of November will be one big orange party with events happening online and/or at different CBS locations. During this week the participants will receive training from our expert partners to prepare for the competition on the final day. During the year we also aim to host a series of inspiring talks and workshops with influential leaders for all students.
Business Battlefield 2021 will be the fifth of its kind, and we aim to think big - nothing is set in stone and your creativity is the limit! If you want to engage in the Business Battlefield journey and co-create this grand event with us, read more below.
