  How I won the IT Business Challenge 2019 by P&G.

  Denis Morozov on LinkedIn

  ITBC 2019 is a unique competition created by Procter and Gamble to select the top 24 European students out of 1500 applications and gather them to solve real problems. After all selection processes that involved online stage and assessment center in Frankfurt, I ended up being one of the lucky selected people that went to Budapest to represent the DACH region. It all started at the Hungarian Academy of Science, where we were getting to know each other with the game of naming all people before you in the order. I went last and to look more impressive, named everyone without looking. The people with whom I was sitting at the table during our first night in Budapest, ended up being my team for this competition. We became "Magic Blue Bears". The person on the right was our mentor Burak Ayoz. What were we doing there? From Monday to Thursday we have been solving real-life business cases for the real product of Procter and Gamble. The actual content was very diverse, ranging from marketing strategies to the development of IT features and infrastructures. The most memorable and challenging task was to come up with very detailed cloud architecture, connecting every department of P&G, because it felt like our solution could really be implemented in the real world and positively influence the company. What did our team do right? From Day 1, there are many tasks to fulfill with a very limited amount of time. Without assigning clear roles and establishing communication it is impossible to make any progress and while it sounds simplistic, it was a real challenge to dedicate time at the beginning of tasks to assign responsibilities because everyone was eager to start and show what they can do. It led to some overlaps in our work, but by Day 3 we were able to overcome it by creating time intervals when we update each other on the status of every task and ask for the help. We also assigned different leaders every day, depending on the type of task. Presenting our solutions was a really new experience. Experienced P&Gers role-played the members of the executive board and they were sure to make it as realistic as possible. Public speaking has always been my strongest skill and it was put to a real test in this environment. I believe that the victory and overall success of our team can be summarized in 3 points: Solid relationships we have built from Day 1 by being open with each other and even going out on the first night half asleep to get to know each other better. Willingness to receive feedback that was promoted a lot by our mentor. Being nice to each other creates certain issues not normally experienced by other teams. For example, we completely ignored the storming stage of the team formation but I feel like this unusual pattern made our way even more unique. Flexibility and reliability was the most important factor when it came to actually solve business cases. From Day 1, even though we didn't know yet the best way to communicate, we always understood one thing - we can count on each other. What did I learn about P&G as a company? Diversity is a very important direction for P&G to pursue. During the seminars, we were not only able to learn amazing IT solutions P&G implements, but also meet inspiring female IT leaders. Magda Grzelak is an Associate Director of Master Data and she gave us a deep dive into the way P&G deals with its huge amount of data and what purpose it serves. It was also very pleasant for me to know how much collaboration is actually happening with the entrepreneurs for Industry 4.0 and the rising interest to switch the infrastructure to the cloud. In the end, it was an incredibly meaningful experience that helped me to understand that the IT industry is the direction I want to pursue. IT is the life of learning that always requires you to expand your knowledge and stay on top of your game. Such a highly competitive environment that needs a deep understanding of both technology and business is exactly the world, where people with fitting attitudes can strive. We will see what the new day brings. You can find more information on my website!

  My Experience at Slush 2019.

  Denis Morozov on LinkedIn

  You know that your venue is huge when people ask you for help to find an exit and then come back 5 minutes later, failing in their mission. Tech conference Slush took place in Messukeskus, the largest expo arena in Finland. During the week of the event, the whole city of Helsinki changes. You can see the light projectors from the venue, no matter if you are in the city center or on the coast. Every single person you meet anywhere in Helsinki has 2 striking similarities to one another: the largest badge I have ever seen and a wristband - that read "Slush Attendee." It creates a unique atmosphere where you feel that everyone around you is an entrepreneur or a tech person. As a nerd, I feel right at home when I am surrounded by other nerds. Even though it seemed like I was busy, I was able to get a lot of things done, especially writing more for my future book than I wrote the whole month before it. Writer's block is a big deal. Talking about the event itself, let's start with facts and figures. 25.000 attendees, that are all friendly enough to strike a conversation with, take part in the event. Of course, it also happens that someone weirdly looks at you, turns around, and leaves. Well, tech world, what can you do? Surprisingly, this is my first time at the tech conference where most of the investors were willing to talk with me and share some crazy details about their work. The conference was filled with so many events it was impossible to keep track of everything: 5 stages, huge match&meet area, speed mentoring, roundtables, expo with 80+ startups, and so much more. Cool things I have seen at the venue: the garden (a calming place where everyone relaxes and has meetings), portable meeting booths, podcasts that happen right in front of you, and cool roundtable rooms that had a beautiful view to the main stage. It was surprising to see a big stand, dedicated only to Russian startups. Finally, we are getting out there. 3500 startups were present at Slush. While I didn't find a lot of them to be exciting, some surprised me: Eversend (firstly appeared as a typical mobile bank, but I was proved to be wrong), Largo AI (I don't know if the product works, but if it does, it is a gamechanger for the movie industry) and others. I also want to highlight the fantastic researchers that also pitched their ideas at Slush: Igor Vassiliev and Haus Manninger. You can learn more about them from my previous posts. I was working at the Startup Roundtables team, which means that we were responsible for all of the private events for top investors, startups, corporates, etc. I heard a lot about many of the participants, and it was fascinating to see them in real life: Remo Gerber (COO of my favorite startup Lilium), Dax Dasilva (CEO of Lightspeed), and many other great people. Prime minister of Finland was also supposed to come, but sadly it didn't work out. The work was quite fun and not too complicated, so there was enough time to see most of the things I wanted to see. To put every little piece into place, the volunteer help is needed, and Slush doesn't shy away from this, by hiring 2400 volunteers to support them. Volunteers get their own floor with free food, drinks, hammocks, weird spinning chair, and other cool things. The hardest thing about being a volunteer for Slush is to wait in a long queue for the ice cream. It is totally worth it, the ice cream is great, and you can choose any topping you want. Isn't this what life is about? Having a good ice cream in a charming place, surrounded by cool people and events. Author: Denis Morozov Follow me on: LinkedIn, Facebook & My Website
