Brilliance in Business 2016

Brilliance in Business was an ongoing project we had been working on since the beginning of Year 10. In Brilliance in Business, we thought of marketable product idea and built upon it through a business plan. In the last few weeks before the competition, we finalised our business plans, which included details such as the cash-flow forecast, the product description, primary research and set up our own trade stand to show off our work.

On the day of the competition, the finalists had to pitch their ideas to the judges and the were asked difficult questions about their idea and business plans. We believe that the success of our business (Luminous) derived from the simplicity of our product, and from the success of our pitch, such as a clear presentation, eye contact and well answered questions.

The skills which we used during this competition include good communication, organisation and presentation. We were also able to use our knowledge gained from our business classes.
What we enjoyed the most from this experience, was being in front of the judges, performing out pitch and receiving comments from them. It was so rewarding after all our hard work to see the judges enjoying our presentation and approving of our product.

Our thanks to Ms Gossage, Ms Whalley and Ms Clarke for all their support and encouragement.
