Project Management, Team Dynamics, Process Management and Project Story Boarding ruled the day. Teams defined individual roles and began the process of understanding the current customers vs. the desired customers for our corporate partner on Project 1: Video Gaming Technology (VGT).After 3 morning studios (Accelerator overview by Burcham, Project Management by Cherrie Clark and Team Dynamics by Brian Griffith), the teams immersed themselves into understanding the data available on the gaming industry as they work to address the challenge provided by the VGT executives.
We returned to Averbuch auditorium for 2 additional teaching studios – one on Personal Branding with Kimberly Furse; the other on “Strategy 101” with David Furse.
After dinner, the teams divided tasks – sending some members out to collect information, capture images and complete research. Others began working on storyboard and final presentations. Lots of Dasani water, Coffee, Soda, and Post Its.
The teams clocked over 14 hours of work today and consumed (while working) over 200 bottles of water, 4 gallons of coffee, a 3 flats of chips, 8 cases of soda (plus 3 full meals). “Twenty somethings” do get hungry!
