Week 8

Monday March 10 - Thursday March 13, 2008

This week was mostly about communications. We received "feedforward" from Donna Miles on our Trend Analysis presentations, we worked on written communications and then we all redid the opening of our Trends and presented it in front of the whole class. By the time we got through it everyone was a bit drained.

Right after class on Wednesday, my group for accounting/communications ran down to Commerce to visit Smart & Final's distribution center and see their voice recognition system in action. We had a fabulous tour of their 400,000 sq. ft. warehouse and got a tremendous amount of information that will help us with our next presentation.

Finally, we posted our FIMSIM results through 8 "weeks." My team is now in second place, but we're confident we can get the lead back and finish strong.
