FWD SpringboardX Pre-Challenge: Equipping Indonesia’s Young Talents with an Exclusive Pre-Event Preparation Program

In the year 2022, from September to October, AMBIZ had the opportunity to collaborate with FWD Insurance, a multinational insurance company established in 2013 to plan, create, and execute an exclusive pre-event called SpringboardX Pre-Challenge. This event served as a supporting program where highly selected candidates who are interested in joining FWD’s main challenge, FWD SpringboardX Student Challenge, were provided with online training, assessment-based grouping, and consultation prior to officially entering the main competition.

This collaboration was inspired by FWD Insurance’s wider strategic goals and vision to change the way people feel about insurance. We were responsible for sourcing as many challenge participants as possible, assigning them to a group based on their AMBIZ Assessment results, planning, and executing several training sessions, tracking the deck creation progress from each group, and ensuring they uploaded the final deck before the deadline.

The Process

We initiated this collaboration by creating a microsite, which served as a one-stop source for candidates to register and access all relevant event information. Additionally, we created and embedded a downloadable project booklet into the microsite to provide more comprehensive details. Simultaneously, we created and distributed campaign contents through various channels, including AMBIZ, FWD Insurance, and external social media platforms, with goals of attracting as many challenge participants as possible.

The registration for SpringboardX Pre-Challenge was open from September 15th, 2022, until September 23rd, 2022, resulted in 57 highly selected challenge participants.

The Challenge Participants Journey

The SpringboardX Pre-Challenge, held from September 29th, 2022, until October 3rd, 2022, consisted of several activities, including FWD SpringboardX Pre-Challenge Training Day, Complex Problem-Solving Workshop, Independent Group Discussions, Deck Submission Day, and Online Presentation Day.
