JCN Newswire
Sibedge, a software engineering company with global operations,
today announced the results from GeCCo, a competition for young
project managers from 34 countries. Following GeCCo rules, no team
had more than two participants from the same country - so each team
was truly international. This competition invited 240 young PMs to
experience virtual teamwork in a multicultural environment and
solve an Asia-Pacific fintech case study from Sibedge.
"The latest EY Global FinTech Adoption Index, a survey of 27,000
digitally active consumers in 27 markets, showed that Asia retains
its global leadership in FinTech adoption. In several Asia-Pacific
markets, we see regulators becoming more open to innovation, and we
see rapid development of digital banking and payment services,
modernization of applications, and growth in the API ecosystem.
This is why we've decided to ask GeCCo participants to come up with
the best APAC market entry strategy. We believe this event has
helped young project managers increase their cross-cultural
management skills and benefit from fintech technologies." - Andrew
Podlesnykh, Head of Partnerships and Judge of the competition.
"The award ceremony was held on April 15, 2023. My congratulations
to the members of the winning team: Maximilian Riemhofer, Ana
Ziros, Vladislav Kositsyn, Zurab Pertaia! On behalf of the core
team, I want to say thank you to our judges and to everybody who
took part in this journey. Special thanks to our sponsors: IPMA,
GPM, Sibedge, Van Haren. Thanks to Sibedge for providing our main
case study. It was pretty challenging, so the teams had to work
hard. The winning team excelled on all the measures we assessed. In
the Shark Tank, all 4 'sharks' awarded the first prize unanimously
to the team 'The Challengers.'" - Kristina Reyzenbuk, GeCCo Project
Manager and Judge.
"After the competition, we asked the winners what they learned.
They said that they quickly learned to adapt to the fact that they
were down by two members. Winners mentioned that by supporting each
other and giving feedback, and simplifying tasks, they were able to
overcome the cross-cultural barriers and act successfully as a
team," said Natia Kartvelishvili, CMO and member of the management
board at Sibedge. "With globalization, many projects now involve
entities outside the country. These projects are presenting
unprecedented levels of uncertainty. Teams that succeed are skilled
at learning along the way and adapting to changing conditions.
GeCCo winners definitely demonstrated these skills."
