Enterprise Activity 24th May

Well it's all systems go now in Enterprise Activity, there's only 3 weeks left until the actual event pretty quickly this has went. Today in class was all about firming off the final things we started in class last week. We started a team meeting to begin with and this is where we spoke of the progress and where we are at the moment, After Clarissa came back from the Management meeting it had been discussed in this meeting about holding a event the week before the actual event to raise funds as some teams were having difficulty with gifts/prizes, so a mini fundraiser it is. We want to keep it simple though and not overload people with asking them to donate money and give us money as this can be very tedious for people and we don't want this affecting our actual fundraiser. So it time to start thinking of ideas for what we could do.......

Not long to go now!! 31st May 2017

Well last week in Enterprise before our event and am nervous to say the least! Today we are having a pre-registration event which will be myself, Hayleigh and Clarissa will be holding the stall taking the names and facebook names to get ourselves prepared for next week. We had initially hoped to collect around 15-20 names, but to all our dismay we managed to collect 28 names in total and am sure it was 15 pounds in donations 😲😲 how amazing was that? Pretty amazing, as a team myself, Clarissa, Hayleigh and Greg put on our charm and impeccable people/customer skills and bag 28 names for the hunt!! Today was a complete success, Sandra, Michael and Zaanetta completed the photo shoot for the uploading of pics on the day. We are pretty much covered for the day now just need to have a practice run before the day, am nervous but also excited as with all Enterprise activities I have personally been involved in there was always a storm before the calm. Today to begin with I was feeling slightly stressed as I felt we as a team had not been prepared enough for the pre-registration event, and everything was done pretty last minute however my wonderful team done it we managed it. I think a key lesson for me today was communication is KEY! Reminder for the remaining week we must all stay in contact and make sure every detail is ready to say GO next week.

Wendesday Game Plan

Today after our team meeting - we have decided that we need some more prices for the lucky winner.
Michal and Sandra went to student association to ask if we can get some pens, flash drive or stress balls but unfortunately they can't donate any of those items because there is none left. Anyway, after we have spoken with student association we went to marketing department to find out if they can help us with some prices for our fund raiser. Unfortunately, they told us that there is nothing they can do for us. 

Hi Folks xD

Today I have been working on computer and  I have created spread sheet with information about what we need for the event plus detailed information about the price for the Lucky winner.
I have done some internet research to find the costume what we need for reasonable price.

Enterprise Activity 17th May!

Well it's Wednesday and we as a team have had a great morning so far, Clarissa our Team Manager took 5 minutes out to delegate our roles today and what we had to do in the next couple hours. My job today was to write up a brief summary of what our groups aim is and what we expect to get out of this. It's very exciting now as the plans are coming together and we are all working as team. I was given the job role of the Marketing Team myself and Hayleigh, I choose the role as I normally take the roles of team leader or manager. I feel like I should get the experience of Marketing a big event and develop the skills I need to further develop my existing skills. I feel this will give me a challenge and am eager to see what the next few weeks holds!!

Enterprise Activity!!

Well it's that time of year again in the Business department at West Lothian College and it's Enterprise activity, one thing I have always enjoyed doing. Once the block started it was a bit worrying as we knew we where setting up some sort of fundraiser for a local charity Jaks Den, fundraisers where something most students seen almost every block with most departments hosting the "usual" activities such as Cake Sales and Tombola's. This time around we all knew as students and tutors that the "usual" just was not going to do us all justice as Business Students, so that's when we all have to think outside the box. It was fun doing mini activities before the initial start of our fundraising ideas, and during this as a class we all hosted various treasure hunts around the campus. The group I was paired in decided to think outside the box and come up with a digital treasure hunt, something similar to what was on a local radio station. This was a great success and great fun at the same time. The following week that is when the class where all sat down and decided what activities we where going to host as a department for the fundraiser, during this many wonderful ideas where called out but as soon as I heard the digital treasure hunt was on the agenda I jumped at the chance ti be working within that group. So the groups where delegated and I was pleasantly surprised with whom I was teamed up with, the groups all met and went and initially spoke of the plans and ideas we all had. This was brilliant we all had a great input and had really good ideas about the planning and preparation of the event. We decided on the name The College Cowboy and started thinking of what we could do with the cowboy and how we could make this event long lasting and fun!! So far we have decided on outfits for the cowboy and roughly where they will be hided. Next class tomorrow that is when the real fun starts, the preparing and planning I hope we all have our thinking caps on in the morning ☺😀
