How did it go?!

In one word, "Great!" Team Ericsson Bucharest said.

It's amazing that they even have the energy to add an exclamation point to that statement after 24 hours of hard work and no sleep. But Team Ericsson Bucharest has emerged from their presentation with smiles on their faces.

"We did everything we could, and win or lose we'll be happy," they said.

The team felt the high point of their presentation was their cohesion and flow, from working together in their team-based MBA program. Based on the judges' feedback and reactions, they thought they were engaged, and were so bold as to say intrigued. The Ericsson executives asked them what one of the challenges of the case was, and the team unanimously felt it was having to propose a solution to something with assumptions - something they did with their energy sector recommendations.

But overall, the team was almost giddy with relief and accomplishment. "It really was more of a conversation than an interrogation," one member said.

Humor definitely got this team through the past 24 hours. The funniest moment for them? When they got stuck in the elevator for 25 minutes and had to climb out in the basement. They really were ready for anything. Nice work guys!

Now to celebrate before the collaboration round. First up: sleep, a hot shower and maybe a beer.
