The Domo Case Competition is a contest where graduate and undergraduate students use data, Domo tools and their creative analytical skills to solve real world problems. This year, the problems focused on nurse staffing and termination for Regional One Health.

Domo wanted real world problems. Unlike other case competitions, students are usually given a fake problem or a problem that was already solved by the company. Unfortunately, this stifles creativity because judges then compare student answers to the real answer. However, with the Domo case competition, the solutions will later be shown to Regional One Health and they will use those to drive their decisions.

Students were given real data, real time lines and real help. Prior to the start of the competition, I worked with Regional One Health to listen to their objectives and to get their data. From there, I anonymized it and wrote the case. In addition, I produced a list of Domo tutorial videos. For me, personally, the most validating reward was seeing how quickly students mastered Domo and having them say "we loved your videos".
