Cameron had his intern case study competition today and sent out a text message to our group with this picture. I was super excited to see it as I knew that it was a really big deal to the supply chain interns. Cameron called me after work to give me all of the details about the competition. I found out that they were first presented with a specific problem that had occurred at Owens Corning recently and then asked to come up with a solution for it. Cameron was paired randomly paired with one of his friends which he appreciated greatly. They worked all morning studying the issue, coming up with a plan of action and writing a proposal that they presented to their managers and several other higher-ups. Cameron's group was concerned that they would run out of time before they finished the project but thankfully pulled it together before time ran out. Their group was announced the winners this afternoon and Cameron was thrilled with the results. Although winning was a nice reward, the biggest positive was learning to work under pressure with a group to solve a real-world problem. Although Cameron will not be able to take the trophy with him when he leaves Owens Corning, he will be able to take that skill with him when he leaves his internship for sure.
