Toronto's Rotman School of Management Chooses Strainprint™ Technologies for its 2018 Capstone Co
Strainprint™ Technologies Ltd, the leader in cannabis data and analytics is pleased to announce that the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management has chosen Strainprint as one of the subjects of its 2018 Capstone case study. The Rotman Capstone Case Study is a requirement for all full-time graduate MBA students. It is a case-based problem solving course where students work in teams to address real problems that real companies are currently facing.
In a world that increasingly relies on "Big Data", today's business leaders must be able to analyze and understand data.
The 2018 Capstone students were tasked this year with analyzing Strainprint's industry-leading patient outcomes data and product positioning in order to identify North American market expansion strategies, among other things. Over 94 students were divided into 16 teams that dissected Strainprint's data and business model over 6 weeks and presented their findings to the Strainprint executive team on Friday Nov 30th in front of their professors and their peers.
In another first, the students were also the very first group to leverage the newly launched Strainprint Community, a secure online discussion platform that provides education and support for the cannabis community. Previous Capstone studies have focused on corporate leaders like Labatt, Bank of Montreal, Proctor & Gamble, Coca Cola and Cineplex.
"This is a pivotal and historical moment for our institution as it's the first time our students have worked with a cannabis organization in any capacity," said Tabitha Fritz, Capstone Course Manager of the Rotman School of Business. "We're proud to join the growing number of respected post-secondary institutions across the country providing additional research for the industry, thus improving cannabis business intelligence throughout Canada and beyond."
