SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Feb. 7, 2022 – Stefanini Group, a global technology company specializing in digital solutions, announced today it partnered with Suffolk University, in Boston for a case study on LogBank, a Stefanini Group company.With a commitment to partnering with academic institutions, Stefanini Group engaged students at Suffolk University to evaluate solutions, services and opportunities for growth for LogBank.
The partnership encouraged students to develop academic works focused on international institutions interested in this partnership model. Achieving the goal of the partnership, students were able to put their knowledge into practice and present scenarios, diagnoses, solutions and insights for the evaluated business models.
LogBank was analyzed by four student groups, which gathered information about solutions, market potential and the possibility of internationalization in the medium and long term. Students researched the fintech market in the United States, regulatory and tariff issues in the states of Arizona, Florida, Georgia and Michigan, indicating where rates would be most affordable, along with advantages and disadvantages in each region.
The partnership with the academic world is something that permeates the history of Stefanini Group for some years. In addition to several Brazilian institutions, the multinational joined Insead in 2018 and 2019 to offer the Leadership Transformation Program, which brought together C-Level executives for five days in Fontainebleau, France, to discuss mindset change and skills development needed to keep up with industry disruptions, inspire teams and engage them in the digital transformation process.
According to Cyrille Verdier, COO of Logbank, the initiative reinforces Stefanini Group’s position of investing in a robust innovation ecosystem, which includes startups, customers, partners and Universities. “Stefanini Group’s strong presence in the United States has helped us in this proximity to Suffolk University. For us, it is very important to have feedback from students under the supervision of renowned professors from a great business school, such as Prof. Mark Lehrer. They provided new perspectives on our offerings, with tips and guidelines that can guide differentiated growth strategies in other countries.” “It was a true work of co-creation, where students could play the role of consultants with LogBank executives”, adds Luiz Gustavo Dutra, CEO of LogBank.
For Prof. Mark Lehrer, who coordinated the project, it’s necessary to show students what the real corporate world is like. That’s why the work carried out with Logbank and other institutions each summer is so valuable for postgraduate students’ learning. “It is stories like yours that we like to tell current and future students to reinforce the importance of combining theoretical and practical knowledge.”
