Reflection 2: The Business Model Canvas
For sure, the Design Thinking Studio is one of the most interesting classes I will ever have the opportunity to attend during my studies. From both the in-class activities and the assignments I have done so far, I have learned that classes should be considered and set so that the students have to listen less, […]
Business Canvas Reflection
After reflecting on the business model canvas assignment my conclusion is that Elvis and I limited ourselves to the outline given to us. Specifically, we limited ourselves to the business model canvas and didn’t reach beyond observation and interpretation. The business model canvas is a great tool to initially analyze a business. I’ve recently used […]
Reflection 2 – Business Canvas: A Creative Prison
The business canvas was an interesting experience for multiple reasons. It not only challenged my personal means of operating, but it taught me several important lessons about the way I think and process projects.

Reflection #2 Business Canvas: An Evolutionary Process
Business is an entire entity founded on many individual parts. I found that conducting the business canvas project caused me to think of the individual parts of the business, rather than always looking at the whole picture.

The Business Canvas project gave me a chance to study and observe a business from a different perspective. Usually when I look at a business, I see it as a whole: I consider it as an entity that delivers value to its customers while making a profit. To me, all of the components that make […]

Getting to work with the CEO, Paul Lambert and team at Matygo was an experience that gave me a greater understanding of the process a start up business has to go through to establish itself. After Paul came to class a couple of Wednesdays ago and presented his business my partner, Joyce, and I met […]
Re-thinking Design
I was talking to my dad this weekend and telling him about how I think I finally found the term that fits in with my original intentions of studying business. I applied to a business school because I realized the inevitable interconnectedness of business/commerce in our daily lives. The precise story had to do related […]
