Task 4 Briefing

Well task four has been up for a little while and I'm starting to delve into it. I think I'm going to use my recycling idea for this one even though I only got recommendations on my other two concepts from task 3.

I was also briefly browsing through the graduate venture ideas, holy cow was I impressed. Some of the stuff in there seems very feasible and even more profitable. I think I'm going to take a detailed look at it tonight and try and marinate in the graduate thought process. Goal: Come up with a new idea better than any of the ones I posted for task 3. There seems to be a real difference in the concepts and ideas posted by the graduates, they are not as conceptual, they are more tangible, they seem to have a larger WOW factor, and value is easily perceived when reading the concepts. More on that later.

Task 4 is due by may 31st. I plan to have at least 1 posted by the 21st. I'll get it up as soon as I finish. May post a beta as I work on it. Time will tell as we are swamped at the office.

Down With The Silence

I'm not happy with the state of calm silence that has come over my classmates entering the program. I really think we need to be driving interaction between us each day, even if it is digital communication and not physical interaction.

I have been tooting the cohesion horn for some time now, saying that the most important aspect of any new venture team is interoperability between members. I fear that my classmates, and myself, are not engaging actively with other classmates and given that such behavior seems sustainable through the summer, I fear this may continue.

I know we have a few tasks coming up and I'm confident they will be administered online in a format similar to tasks 1-3 (posted below). I really hope these tasks get everyone fired up and networking. Beyond the occasional hello, I have not been approached once.

Heck, maybe its a personal problem. I hope so.
