Hello again! As I'm sure you know, today is election day. Luckily, our class schedule this semester let me get to the polls early this morning. So if you haven't done it yet, get out and vote!
I wanted to share a little today about the group projects you will find yourself involved with at BC. As I previously mentioned, we are placed into groups that we work with the whole semester across all our classes. Each project brings with it a unique set of challenges. For instance, our managers lab class has us picking a product or process and thinking of innovative ways to improve it (which none of us had done). Our marketing class is a little more straight-forward, we are given a relatively new product from a real-life company and told to create a marketing plan for it. Many people in our class have experience in marketing, so we can rely on their background for a way forward.
Beyond the academic challenges that each of these projects brings, managing the dynamic between individuals and leveraging each persons strengths is the biggest take-aways. I would encourage you to keep an open mind as you take on these projects during your MBA career and learn from your classmates as much as possible.
