There were some significant events last week, I should not have left it till Tuesday, but here we are, late but since the next week has not yet started due to a really long weekend, I guess its fine.
The first event of importance last week was the meeting with an entrepreneur about my independent project. This alumni has been running a traditional cardboard based games company for some time (20 years) and wants to start off a tech version, i.e. mobile apps for the same games. The idea is so exciting that I can see a real possibility of a career in this area soon after my MBA. Me and my colleague working on this idea have been wanting to work on a project together for some time now and the entrepreneur selected us both, so things seem to be falling in place.
The SOAR report completion deadline was also on Thursday, I completed it on Thursday, this report was very useful in terms of re-focussing on why we came here and taking on some specific goals for the rest of the MBA and beyond. Even though I personally felt that the need to refer back to OBPPD learning aids like Qoits to be a bit restrictive, I think these are needed to provide some guidelines regarding the structure of the report.
We have formed our teams for Entrepreneurship, I am still looking to form a team for my Implementing change elective, may be next week this would be finalised as well. Forming teams informally does not seem to be as good an idea as it seemed, being popular is important :).
Another development last week was my involvement in the cricket team, even though I initially thought the chances of me playing to be slim, I have just decided to give it a try, put in my best efforts and play in the team if I am performing well by the time MCL (MBA cricket league - a tournament organised by Cranfield MBAs every year of MBA teams around UK) happens.
