The top 3 teams in the final will be invited to BGF Awards in Cannes, at the French Riviera for the prize ceremony.Team leader for Skanska Project Support, Lars Karlson, CFO, had the following to say about their experience of the tournament. "We greatly enjoyed participating in this game. It was challenging to analyze matters and issues none of us normally do in our daily work. It was also exiting to grasp an overall view, to make decisions based on our findings, and see how the results came out. A great benefit with this exercise is to gather people from different professions and to combine their knowledge and experience. For us it worked out well. We had fun and learned a lot which will be useful both in present and future assignments. We definitely recommend the BGF Business Game Tournament to other units in Skanska"
