Decision Making

3/24/2013

0 Comments

 
This week we will learn about Decision Making and finalize your event idea and organization including writing an executive summary. You have already narrowed your ideas to three and many of you have already met with a number of PCSS organizations and teacher sponsors. All groups have also created an Event Team Wiki page to plan and share ideas.

I will return your individual Research Questionnaires in class Monday and you will finalize and complete one team questionnaire to help make a decision about your event details.   A copy of the final survey and summary of the results should be included in your proposal and mentioned in the executive summary. The Finance and Marketing Managers have the principle responsibilities to complete the research and should include on their Wiki pages. See Event Project Overview for details. 

Please also remember to return the signed Field Trip Permission form for the lecture by Tonya Surmanat Humber College this Wednesday. Remember we leave at 10:30 and will return by approximately 2:15.

We have now started Unit 2, which is the Enterprising Event. This week we are discussing Creativity and covering the topics in Section 1, called Idea Generation. You have already generated many Enterprising Event ideas and should start your Event Team Wiki pages to collaborate and expand on the three ideas each team came up with yesterday. Next week we will start Section 2 on Decision Making and will finalize your Event organization, teacher contact, and event details.

Today in class your homework is to complete the Right Brain vs Left Brain Creativity Test and write a paragraph summary of your results stating why or why you do not agree with evidence.  You should also submit your notes you have been taking on Creativity this week, which should include a definition and at least 5 characteristics or traits of creative people. This should be handed in on Thursday, March 7.
