BCG Women’s Breakfast

October 1, 2021 at 09:00-11:00 in BCG Helsinki office.

Companies of today face an increasingly complex world with a multitude of priorities, conflicting objectives, and an abundance of stakeholders. At Boston Consulting Group (BCG), problem-solving the most difficult challenges in such convoluted environments is at the heart of what we do. The solutions we develop in strong partnership with our clients transform not just companies but also entire industries – and even segments of society. Responding to complexity requires curiosity, structure, and collaboration skills.

At BCG Helsinki, we would like to extend an invitation to you for a breakfast event on Friday, October 1. The event is all about building the practical skills needed to succeed in your career: during the morning, you will hear BCG’s best practices in problem-solving and get to solve a case example with us. Besides enjoying a lovely breakfast while learning key insights, the event is an excellent opportunity to meet us and ask any questions you might have about management consulting and BCG.

The event is targeted towards University students who identify as women from all fields of study, preferably in their 3rd year of studies and up. Please submit your CV and unofficial transcripts (optional) with your application. Apply by Wednesday, September 22 at the latest. We will confirm your attendance by Friday, September 24.

Due to COVID-19, seats for the event are unfortunately limited, so register soon. We monitor the Government’s guidelines and continuously assess the current situation, and if the C-19 situation evolves, we aim to organize a virtual event.

We organize this event exclusively for women, as we want to continue making consulting more visible to women and find it very important to find talented women for BCG. We hope to answer your questions about this during this event.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Evita Iiskola at Iiskola.Evita@bcg.com.

We look forward to meeting you!

Best regards,
Adelina & Lotta
On Behalf of BCG in Finland

Case Cottage

The Study Trip is back. And this time we are taking a trip to our beautiful nature at Evo. The cottage trip will be a weekend filled with mingling with other ISM students and most importantly – a tricky case to be solved!

Study Trip goes Cottage on 1.-3.10.

The participation fee covers you a whole weekend of tasty food and some beverages, entertainment, case-solving and making new friends. The event will be held at a cottage venue in Evo, where they have great facilities including saunas and paljus. However, this trip is not just for having fun, on Saturday we will have a case to be solved in teams, where ISMers get to use their expertise, practice teamworking and case-solving skills, which are valuable in working life.

The bus for the cottage leaves from Otaniemi on Fri 1.10. at 16:30 and returns to Otaniemi on Sun 3.10. at 15:00 latest.

Since there are many excited people wanting to join, the sign-up form asks you to explain in 3 sentences why you would like to attend the event. All sign-ups with proper 3 sentences will participate in a raffle that decides who get to participate. Thus, we do not guarantee that you get to go with your friend(s) and the order of sign-ups is irrelevant.

Participants that got in will be contacted on 15.9.

Check the Facebook event and sign up!

Master’s Opening

Dear new or old ISM master’s student!

Aalto ISM invites you to kick off the new academic year at Master’s Opening. The event will provide information about the subject club’s operations and ISM studies as well as offer a chance for casual hanging out with other ISM students. This is a great opportunity to meet new people and get to know the ISM community!

The event is open for all ISM master’s students, but in case the Corona restrictions limit the number of participants, new ISM master’s students coming from outside Otaniemi campus will be given first priority, new ISM master’s students moving within Otaniemi campus will be given second priority and the rest follow.

The organising mode (live or online) is also still open and will be confirmed closer to the event. Therefore, when you sign-up for the event you are asked to indicate your interest in participating in the event in case it’s held live indoors, live outdoors or remotely.

Check the event on Facebook and sign up by 15.9. at 23:59.

Bachelor’s Opening

Hei uusi tai vanha ISM-kandi!

Aalto ISM kutsuu sinut korkkaamaan uuden lukuvuoden Bachelor’s Openingiin. Tapahtumassa on luvassa järjestön toiminnan ja ISM-opintojen esittelyä sekä kasuaalia hengailua muiden ISM-kandien kanssa. Tämä on siis mainio mahdollisuus tutustua uusiin tyyppeihin ja ISM-yhteisöön!

Tapahtumaan voi ilmoittautua kuka tahansa ISM:n kandiopiskelija, mutta koronarajoitusten rajoittaessa osallistujamäärää ensisijalle laitetaan uudet ISM-kandit.

Tapahtuman järjestysmuoto (live vai online) riippuu myöskin koronarajoituksista ja ilmoitetaan lähempänä tapahtumaa. Tämän vuoksi ilmoittautuessasi tapahtumaan voit valita oletko kiinnostunut osallistumaan livenä sisätiloissa, livenä ulkona tai etänä.

Katso tapahtuma Facebookissa ja ilmoittaudu 12.9. mennessä.

Nähdään avajaisissa!

Picnic Hangout with Aalto ISM

The start of the academic year is closing in on us, but there is still summer left! Vielä on kesää jäljellä…

We have heard your wishes for an event! Aalto ISM welcomes all new and old ISM students to a casual hangout outdoors on Wednesday 4.8. at 18:00 onwards in Vanha Kirkkopuisto. The picnic is a great place to network with other ISM people, meet new faces, and connect with some of our alumni as well! ISM will provide some snacks and drinks, but you may also want to take your own and BYOB (bring your own blanket).

We want to especially encourage all new bachelor’s and master’s ISM students to come enjoy the sun and meet your new study buddies.

Please sign-up for the event before joining so we can keep the event safe for everyone. The sign-up is open until the event so no sign-up is a late sign-up.

If you are sick or have any symptoms that could be COVID, please do not attend the event.

Summer greetings and hoping to see many of you at the picnic!
