4th Blog: Final Pitching and Final Project
The team have prepared for the pitching for about 1-2 days, it was rough because of things loading up. We were very busy because of the upcoming case presentation of one of our major subjects and most of us didn't get to sleep because of the preparation, thus we spliced our task of one another for the preparation for the pitching. Some of my team mates didn't get to do their part so I have to cover for it. The team had some disappointments during the pitching. I was confident that everything would be fine, and everyone on the team was prepared. But I was wrong, the team's pushing who is going to report or talk first, thus I talked first and I didn't realize that I was just talking the presentation like reporting it, because I'm so tired, I feel like I was there but not there and also I was nervous and my other group mates were doing nothing. Earlier that day, I help my other 2 group mates to finish our power point quickly, so I multitasked to do our case manuscript as well as to prepare for the final pitching.
Our professor was really disappointed and made comments on our pitching so one of my team mates talk to our professor that hoping she will give us a second chance to redeem our group and he will be the only one who was going to persuade the investors. Successfully, he was able to persuade them but there were errors about our product, the team asked too much money for a start up and didn't calculate the profit if we going to actually sell the product. I was really disappointed of my team and to myself too because I realized that give my very best to pitch our product but its still not enough but also happy at the same time, since it was done. Thus, I learned that it is really important for us to be prepared on time to avoid cramming of activities but still I realized that no matter how much I manage my time there were circumstances that I can't control.
For our Final Project I directed the team on what they are going to do, provide what scenario on what we are going to do and edited our video. I can say our team may lack a bit of unity and members are not that cooperative. Some of them are really hard to persuade to participate in the said activity but luckily I was able to tell them that they should do their part since they were very essential to make this project be successful. Thus the team decided at first to do a raw video where it is like an advertisement but in the end the team decided to do an animated video presentation for the product for it is feasible, and also time bounded for us. I learned that Team work makes the Dream work. Because still without my team we will not be able to accomplish this final project.
