In August 2025, 31 teams bravely set out to participate in a two-stage "teaching contest" organized by Alex Christian, Fannie Couture, Paul Spee, and Matthias Wenzel. Central to this contest was to engage the global SAP community in the development and sharing of teaching innovations. As the stats in the upcoming newsletter show, this goal has been accomplished.
The results are in: There are two winning teams! The members of the teaching initiative as well as the executive committee congratulate
Natalia González-Salazar and Martha Eugenia Reyes-Sarmiento
SAP: Simulation for Actionable Practice (in English and Spanish)
and
John Fernando Macías-Prada and Martha Eugenia Reyes-Sarmiento
Lived Strategy: "Family Futures" as a Laboratory for Strategic Practice and Future Making in Business Families (in English and Spanish)
We also gratefully acknowledge the finalists and honorable mentions:
Further Finalists
Mattia Anesa, Corinna Galliano, and
Jean-Pascal Gond
Lucy Caines and Jonas Spengler

The produced teaching materials are amazing, covering a broad range of contents (divesture, business families, economies of worth, fiction, etc.) and formats (games, scenario techniques, video-based teaching, etc.). You find the teaching materials of the winners, finalists, and honorary mentions here. We thank all teams for their participation! Stay tuned for more teaching stuff to come in 2026 and beyond.
