New Year, New Challenge

The 4th day of Chinese Lunar New Year (Vietnam, Singapore, Korea, etc. use the same lunar calendar) or so-called Spring Festival, many inter-groups meetings are going on, thanks to Prof. Ralf. There'll be 6 industry analysis presentation on Tuesday, each combined of two different industries, e.g. Steel & Commodity Chemical, Pay for Contents & Free Media. Each study group has spent hundreds of hours on our individual presentation, the story lines, the contents, the graphs, the colors, etc. After a pre-run on Friday afternoon, now we have to merge the presentation with our neighbouring group to find out the common characteristics of both groups and come up with a combined presentation & report.

This is one of our first major group projects and has presented a lot of new challenges. Different groups adopted different approaches, each has its pros & cons. And it's not easy to avoid being frustrated, no wonder more & more colleagues have signed up for the PDI (Personal Development Initiative) and talked to professional psychoanalyst. Managing emotions, balancing group task & individual reading, we'll keep learning!

新年进步！
