Good idea to create a status page. May also want to add a link from the front page and this page to your project calendar. As this is an MOM, perhaps we can include who is missing from status meeting today. You have to add an activity where CMO adds content to Webpage and may want to draft first tweet. We will need a twitter page and #. We may also need a process where teams can drafts a tweet about their workshop and then CMO or CEO approves and sends it out? I suppose each workshop could have a twitter account too? Final Marketing Plan needs to be finalized with Marketing Managers.
Prashanthi said
at 10:24 pm on Apr 29, 2014
Thank you Mr.Gill! I already linked this page to the front page and instead of linking to my calendar I added a calender on this page. I included the members that were present and absent as well. I will add new items to the to do list.

Great.

I looked at the Duty Roster. Great start. More people need to review ASAP. Here are some comments or questions. Stage Crew need to be advised about May 19 (Rehearsal in Auditorium) and Conference on May 23. There is a form in the office. Ask for two mikes and Two Screens and Projectors and computers. If this is a problem can order from board but should do ASAP. Do we need any other days booked in the Auditorium for practice. May 20 for example? It is not clear what day this roster is for. It says week on May 19. May 19 is a Friday? What happens at Registration desk? We need to include testing by Tech Managers and CIO after "stage crew set up". Also need specific names or titles if entire Tech team for example. Marketing Managers probably want to check that presentations work.
chris gill said
at 4:29 pm on May 4, 2014
Sorry. May 16 is formal Rehearsal in Auditorium. Week of may 19 is correct, but the roster looks like host for the 23rd and 16th? Also need someone in charge of the second computer with Twitter Deck or some other Twitter tool to show the Tweets and # in the conference.
Prashanthi said
at 11:02 pm on May 4, 2014
Mr. Gill, this is my initial plan. I will make the changes that you suggested.
chris gill said
at 7:46 pm on May 5, 2014
Hi Exec's. You have to include a discussion of the marketing plan, Twitter page and #, the website, and the schedule for your into. Perhaps you can present it again later this week. You will have to spend 30 Min.
chris gill said
at 7:29 am on May 10, 2014
FYI. On May 9th I had understood we were supposed to launch the website and start marketing . Not one executive was in class where we had a Lab booked. Most of you had "authorized absences" but as we say in business, the optics did not look great. Make sure you read and perhaps comment on my blog posts and provide some feedback for the people who posted new presentations, added Log's, and I hope approved or provided new summary info for the workshops. One key thing missing is the conference workshop schedule times and even date on the website. Can I also get the passwords for the website and twitter account as a back up. Perhaps one key person on your Functional team can also be assigned to back you up. Remember Wednesday is the day I will do an initial mark for your workshop presentations including the intro from exec that should include some interesting and motivational material on management, leadership, and technology.

Prashanthi and exec team. I believe there are two calendars on the Wiki. I made some changes on the one on your page, but then saw this. Just have one and then Link to main calendar. There is also a Google calendar? The one on the conference website should only have info for customers not internal planning.
Prashanthi said
at 9:25 pm on May 12, 2014
Mr. Gill, the two calendar that I have on the wiki are exactly the same. I just have two copies as it ensures that people notice important due dates. We don not have a Google calender as you initially told us that we should just have a calendar on the wiki.
chris gill said
at 7:58 am on May 13, 2014
Ok. Perhaps easier to have one and just have links from other key pages. The Google calendar I mentioned was on the website, but off now anyway.
Eryn said

Hey Mr. Gill... in terms of password for the twitter page we kept it simple and made the password "Warriors"!
I started tweeting from the Conference Twitter account today and many students retweeted off their own accounts so get the word out!
chris gill said
at 10:46 pm on May 14, 2014
It should just be exec team tweeting from this account as this is formal Tweets from Conference and needs to be reviewed by at least two execs to make sure ok. All are encouraged to re-tweet and tweet own stuff.
chris gill said
at 11:00 pm on May 14, 2014
Hi, Start the Marketing Campaign and send out URL for website. See Blog post for more details!

Hi, Exec. I have looked over the intro power point. It is a start. Include much more real pictures and images (LOGO's) of our team. You will have to think of something creative to introduce the conference in 30 Min. Part of it can be sharing how the class organized and planned the conference. You can include some management info from the text and how we did it as a team. For example, under organization. Introduce Divisional Teams and have everyone up on stage and then introduce Functional teams and have everyone move together. Do we need a big sign to do this? Then explain Matrix organization. then you could do something creative on planning and share our project plan and info on meetings and MOM and action plans. Feedback and Control could be a topic and discuss rehearsal and feedback and perhaps the Wiki, which is also a control method. As also mentioned before we need to share info on 21st century worker, technology change etc (Chapter 1). I suggest Sydney does slide and strategy for Organization. Prashanthi does planning and control. Balaz does technology change and new economy as I think he already volunteered. Eryn can do Teamwork and Marketing? Just my ideas. Teamwork could be part of the conclusion and summary of the ideas discussed at the conference. Please Reply to this comment and make suggestions or volunteer. Anyone in the class can and should include some ideas for intro and conclusion. We will need to this on Thursday in the auditorium.
Prashanthi said
at 3:27 pm on May 18, 2014
I volunteer to do the slides on planning and controlling. I think that at the beginning of the conference all the workshop groups should be present on the stage and this will show the divisional teams. Later, when each of the executives are presenting they should also introduced the members of their functional teams. By doing this the audience will be able to understand what divisional teams and functional teams are.
Prashanthi said
at 7:30 pm on May 18, 2014
Mr.Gill do we need to print out the participant feedback forms for Friday?
chris gill said
at 12:59 pm on May 19, 2014
They could be added to a form on the Weebly website or surveymonkey. Talk to Balaj and Team. Better to have students do online, which reminds me that we should encourage BYOD in our ads and promotion.
chris gill said
at 1:02 pm on May 19, 2014
Were is the form. Not the same as gave our team. More of a quantitative from. Sale of 1-10. Agree, Disagree. Yes No.
Prashanthi said
at 9:34 pm on May 20, 2014
No, Mr. Gill it is the participant feedback form that I created a few months ago. I have uploaded a copy of it.
Prashanthi said
at 9:35 pm on May 20, 2014
As you suggested I did talk to Balaj and he said he will either upload it onto the website or crate and online survey using the feedback form that I created.
chris gill said
at 8:27 am on May 20, 2014
Nice diagram of the auditorium with duties. We will probably just have one door open at the entrance. I also have the SAC "conference" room booked for the morning and lunch.
Prashanthi said
at 9:32 pm on May 20, 2014
Ok, that's better as there could be two individuals welcoming and two guiding them to their seats.
chris gill said
at 6:44 pm on May 20, 2014
Update the things to do list if this is the exec main things to do list for exec and team?
Prashanthi said
at 9:33 pm on May 20, 2014
I just updated the to do list for the Exec's.
chris gill said
at 9:49 pm on May 20, 2014

I can stretch my part to closer to ten minutes. Especially now that I'm talking about the info from chapter one.
Eryn said
at 1:55 pm on May 21, 2014
Finished my part of the introduction and will add it to the powerpoint!
Prashanthi said
at 10:56 pm on May 21, 2014
Great Eryn!
chris gill said
at 9:58 pm on May 22, 2014
Exec. Hope you guys get psyched up for tomorrow. Check out the draft new slides Prashanthi added. You may already have done the same. Look forward to tomorrow. Unless you folks have a better strategy I think Balaj and Eryn stay on the floor making sure presentations and TwitterDeck work. Music if transition is fine. During Q & A of one team you can get new slides up for next team. Prashanthi and Sydney manage the people on and off the stage and the clicker and mics. I think we are getting two wired mics and one of the original wireless mics tomorrow.
