Voice of the customer – Feedback given by SV community – Spring 2013


·        Voice of the customer feedback

       Extend the time dedicated for presentations or don't limit the presentation's time
       Presentations 5 -10 minutes to allow more teams to present.  Post summaries on LinkedIn
·         The layout of each session should have more discussions (and less lecture)
      Community insert comments into LinkedIn presentations summaries.  Class discussion around these comments.
·         The syllabus should include a road map of the course and clarify the course's structure and its essence (should be less abstract)
      The Idea will be implemented to the Fall Syllabus
·         Allocate more time for team's breakups
      Give teams structured project-tasks to be accomplished during 30 minute breaks, and two 15 minute breaks for socializing.  Each team will have to report to the community (in presentation or on LinkedIn how they accomplished the task)
·         Get out the building (attend outside lectures or events as a community)
      http://mappedinisrael.com/, Look for interesting conferences/events
·         Use past student's experience
      Extend advisory board, use LinkedIn group of SV excellence
·         Part of the reading requirements was redundant since it wasn't discussed in class
      Use shorter articles with discussions on how to implement the ideas
·         Each team should have a weekly KPI (key performance indicators)
       Find KPI's that are common to all projects, and specific projects to be chosen by each team.  This could be a good class exercise in which each team suggest KPIs for their team and for other team, depending on their project progress stage.
·         Bring more guest speakers with industry experience.
       OK
·         Have more options for a make-up
       Assign makeus from a reading list not covered in class (Makeup Reading List).
·         Use LinkedIn instead of the SV forum. Centralize work in one platform.
      OK.  Use current forum as Class Manager (for example, Apologies).
·         Articles should have more practical industry tools rather than entrepreneurship ones.
       Use course tracks based on customer segments: entrepreneurship, intra-preneurship, and Grad-Research.
·         Devote time at the beginning of the course for personal acquaintance within the community.
·         Automate in-class exercise and make its information available to the community.  
·         Each session a selected team would be the expert of an article and would present it to the community

5 Tips for Presentation Confidence and Reducing Nervousness

Hi community,

“There are two types of speakers. Those who get nervous and those who are liars." Mark Twain.

Did you know that public speaking is the number one fear in America? The fear of death is ranked number two! We seem more afraid of public speaking than we are of physical demise, heights, jumping out of a plane, or dreaded in-laws.
Today some of us are going to present the final projects. So there are some TIPS in the following article:

We had this week a lovely presentation by Robert's sister. Like she said, there are some questions' answers that are not accepted while you're interviewing.
Don't you think yourself what should be the right answer?  
We are been asked during the interview some question that we are speechless about them.
  • What did you like or dislike about your previous job?
  • What was the biggest failure in this position?
  • Why are you leaving your job?
  • What is your greatest weakness?


By entering this link What is the best answer?! you can find what should be the best answer!

Work to hard...?

Most of us know what it's like to be extremely busy... 
Studies take a huge part of our days, not to mention work that is sometime a real time consumer... 
Don't you often say to yourself - 

"When I'll graduate life will be easier..."?

I know I do. And I hope life WILL be easier (:
BUT - in a few months, we all gonna find ourselves in a full time job... 
How can we make sure to be successful in our new positions, and yet to have a life outside the office?

?How can we keep our Work Life Balance

The Seemingly Impossible Is Possible

I remember my first lecture I saw in TED. It was insightful lecture about poverty, but there was one more thing... We call it in the course "remarkable"... The result was a memorable lecture. 

Maybe it will add some cool ideas to our presentations in the course.

If you don't have the time to watch all the 19 minutes just pass forward to 17:00.

Why I Will Never Hire You

Some awesome content for the projects related with job interviews and job posting:

Entrepreneur or Intrapreneur.. What is the difference?


We all have read during our classes about the term Entrepreneur.
I can also add that I was well aware of it, but I was less connected to it.
Therefore when Eitan mentioned the other term - Intrapreneur I was intrigued to know what it means and what is the different between those 2 terms.

After a small research, I’m sharing the article that helped me the most..


Enjoy!

Makeup presentation - A 3 day startup

Hi everyone,
I'll keep it short. I'm very glad to hear that you've found interest in my makeup presentation.
I will be happy to elaborate on any related subject whenever you'd like.

Here's a link to the presentation: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g193ksgqfwe5yw1/Makeup.pdf

I have censored the  presentation in order to allow us (the project team) to go forward with the idea without having it's business plan documented online, but again I'd be more than willing to speak with anyone privately as it has been a great experience and worth sharing.

I would like to say that learning the Lean methodology, it's principles and practices has supported this project in a considerable way! Don't take the course material for granted, as it is a big plus to be exposed to such management methods.

Shahar.
