MBA week 9 (already!)
Monday, March 2nd, 2009
A sunny picture to compliment the sunny day today.
To be honest it feels like week 8 hasn’t really finished and here we are, Monday again.
It is an intensely packed week ahead, with presentations for me today, tomorrow, Wednesday (the Dragons Den is back!) and on Friday. With presentations of course comes preparation and this can take some time. 10 people have their own view on the best way to convey the hard work that we have done during the term; that anxiety being that as the presentations are the things that are graded, if they don’t convey things appropriately then all the team suffer in their grades. It is also interesting to see peoples attitudes to risk on these exercises; no matter how many times we are advised the way NOT to create “death by powerpoint” presentations, people cling onto the infamous bullet point, like a safety blanket.
I have been able to dust off my movie making skills however and I hope the Dragons will like what I have put together; ultimately the client liked what we have done and the film(s) should convey this in a fun way.
The presentations will be good but stepping out of the comfort zone to produce something awesome will have to wait a little long; the great thing is that I now have the skills in the locker to do it in the future.
