SEB Lithuania to the BGF World Finals!

SEB Vilniaus Bankas Lithuania has secured a place in the BGF Business Game World Finals, hosted by Business Game Factory. After defeating their SEB colleagues at the SEB Championships in Business Management held every year in September, the Lithuanians advanced to the BGF Semi-finals where they won all the competitors. The SEB team will now enter the BGF World Finals competing against the other semi-final division winners. If the SEB team succeeds a world top 3 position, they will be heading off to the BGF Award ceremony held in Cannes, French Riviera!

Team leader Virginijus Doveika, Head of International companies said, “This game is a great teambuilding opportunity as well as a chance to practice your managerial decisions in a competitive environment. In terms of competition; the bigger number of competitors you have (in one division), the more fun you get. The diverse background of competitors is the key thing to a great competitive environment, that's why it gets more and more tougher, as well as more and more fun, with every stage. Although in its infancy and less regular; I find business simulations way more practical than other training methods. I recommend the BGF Tournament, as we have another team from SEB Vilniaus Bankas starting this year. Now we are waiting for the finals, to get the most out of the game “


Business Game Factory wishes; Virginijus Doveika, Vilius Juzikis, Vytautas Ašaka, Julius Duksta and Vita Markeviciute all the best at the BGF World Finals in November, you can do it!

BGF Business Tournament Awards - Cannes 2007

The luxurious BGF Awards were once again successfully arranged in Cannes, on the French Riviera, in March 2007. The top 3 teams in the world celebrated their victories together with the BGF Cannes crew. Teams from Nokia, Philips and Stora Enso were taken to exclusive dinners, to a private wine yard, a private residence on the hills of Cannes and cruises on the shore of Cannes and St. Tropez. The rumor has it that also the original Rat Pack paid them a visit and performed the old classic “come and fly with me” in tuxedos.
