Journal Entry #4

How have you deepened your understanding of secondary and market research? (for E2-E6)

I think keeping an open mind always help me think of certain aspects to research that I normally wouldn’t. Doing the VP1 on accessibility I think also really helped broaden my thinking.

How have you deepened your understanding of empathy and customer discovery?

This VP2 my group and I are tasked with creating an event. Out of any other VP2, the empathy and customer discovery aspect weigh heavily on our decision. That has helped me deepen my understand because I am relying so heavily on it, and want my data to be good/accurate.

What resonated with you in Oscar Edward’s storytelling workshop?

When we all went around and said what are spirit animal or thing was. At first I thought it was kind of silly, but as the time went on it gave me more time to think on it and how we are just animals in a way. I think it helped me realize that life isn’t as complex as we make it out to be everyday

How might you apply this week’s learnings to your venture?

I got some good insight from Schantell on what the event VP2 is all about and how we want to approach it, so I will keep applying that.

Outside of E&I this week:

This week was pretty good overall, I got my last bike rides and hikes in due to the rain coming in. Here’s a random photo from the hike!

  1. Having an open mind is always best 🙂 Working on an event sounds fun but very overwhelming, looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with. Like that you included a picture, a bike ride sounds so nice!

  2. I’m glad you are learning a lot through venture projects and I’m excited to see how you utilize it during your VP2! Also, it great you are going out to enjoy the fresh air, I love going hiking!:)

  3. Events are definitely all about empathy for sure, I hope yours goes well and I’m also looking forward to seeing what you come up with! Glad you got some time outside before the weather turned
