Our partnership with Deutsche Bank
Deutsche Bank and businessdynamics have been working in partnership since March 2000.
Deutsche Bank has supported both the e-business challenge and e-business programme. These initiatives were developed as a result of independent research undertaken on behalf of businessdynamics into student attitudes to business. It revealed that young people viewed e-business as the business for the future and yet schools were not responding to this.
The e-business programme provides six interactive seminars to students over two days and they are delivered by volunteers from commerce and industry. Deutsche Bank supports the programme both financially and through a team of almost 100 company volunteers. These volunteers benefit through improved presentation and communication skills that are refined in lively interactions with dynamic and enterprising young people.
The e-business challenge enables students with an idea for an e-business venture to work together in a team to develop their proposal and create a business plan for it. Those who are shortlisted can then pitch their idea to a panel of business professionals at the offices of Deutsche Bank and get their expert feedback. Last year the winning team and their teacher won a trip to San Francisco.
More than 700 students entered the challenge in 2002 and in doing so gained practical understanding of key business areas such as sales and marketing, human resources, finance, management and IT.
The partnership between Deutsche Bank and businessdynamics has raised awareness in schools of the impact of internet technology on modern business practice. Its success was acknowledged in the 2002 Business in the Community awards where it achieved the ‘Big Tick’ award in 2002.
