After months of online team calls, workshops and coaching sessions, finally the weekend Team London had been longing for had arrived: our first offline get-together in Munich. Not only would the delegation traveling to LIMUN meet in person for the first time, but we would also get to know Team Seoul and members of the core team. The excitement was huge (and luckily made up for the short nights most of us had spent on busses, trains or airplanes) when the portrait pictures we knew so well from the weekly online meetings turned into real persons of flesh and blood on Friday morning.
Even though the situation was a peculiar combination of getting to know strangers you had never met before and reuniting with your friends you see and talk to on a weekly basis, it didn’t take longer than a few moments until we were sure – the coconuts (credits to our expert session with Dr. Ashis Brahma) of Team London and their colleagues from Team Seoul must have known each other for years. Hence vivid chatting accompanied the official start of our first day, which was shaped by a workshop on project management by Matthias Reiser and Jöran Albers of Bain & Company in their impressive Munich office. After a morning of input, we spent the afternoon applying our newly gained knowledge to two example cases and could exercise our presentation skills when convincing our managers (aka the two experienced consultants and most supportive workshop leaders from Bain & Company) of our solutions.
