The BMC

For BMC (Business Model Canvas), Yohana and I have responsibility to finish this part. The business plan of my team is such a social business which named REYY-OT (REYY Organizer Team). Actually, we already make BMC from the beginning when we set our business. So, we just need make several revision and proof it.For your information, if our business have two-sided market.

Firstly, we begin from our VP (Value Preposition. The VP of our business is for user: we bridge the student to potential sponsors network, improve their organization skill, and make them easy to get the sponsorship and for payer:we serve sorting the student’s proposal which fit to their business, and help them to deliver their budget of CSR in smart, fast, and effective way. If our VP already clear, we can continue to analyze our BMC.

After that, we develop our customer segments,customer relationship, channels, key resources, key activities,key partnership, revenue stream and cost structure. We follow all the step which stated in Steve Blank video. And the things that also important is to state our MVP (minimum viable product). We spend much time for this point.

The one that I love is when each team give comment for others BMC. Through this way, it can make us thinking critically. Not only that, we also improve our BMC based on suggestion from other team that can be accept and fit with our business.

Overall, I enjoy to make BMC. Just face little bit problem when we fight each other to defend our own opinion. But we can finish the BMC on time and perfect. Oh ya, the last, I am very fun when we make poster. We can be very creative to make our poster interesting. Even poster of my team little bit "childish" but I love it. Because it can describe how my team members, yes we are like that.


The NEC

For NEC, honestly I'm not taking a part for this project. My team send Yonanda and Roro to include as the team who make the video. So, I cannot talk about NEC deeply.

Actually, I invite to act as myself to describe what conflict that rise within teamwork. But I cannot attend because Yonanda just tell me in the night before and I already have appointment to attend the family gathering. I am little bit disappointed cannot take a part for this project.

Even though I do not include in that project but I can see how the NEC team works. From the pictures and video that they made, I know how the team work hardly. I am proud of the NEC team.


A Trepping in Indonesia

For this project, the topic that my team choose is "Entrepreneurs under 25 in Indonesia: What they tell us". We all agree with this topic and no one contra. We divide our team, Yonanda and I as people who prepare the slide for presentation and Yohana and Roro as people who finish the editorial.

As usual, we doing this assignment on the last minute. Because I just realize on Saturday if we have to present on Monday. But actually, we already collect the sources for this topic long time ago, in new year holiday. The reason we choose this topic because we see this phenomenon in Indonesia especially college student. Mostly the university in Indonesia have entrepreneurship as the course, even engineering faculty have it.

Many of successful young entrepreneurs starts their business when they are still in college. Even many of them do not finish their study/DO from their college. Hendy Setiono, the CEO of Kebab Turki Baba Rafi can be example of it.

The important point that we should analyze is What young entrepreneurs tell us. So, we elaborate how to be successful entrepreneur with unstable emotional as young people. So, we give suggestion according the history of young entrepreneurs who success in Indonesia.

After we present it, Pak Nord think if our editorial is fit if we publish in teen magazine or young magazine. Yes, as usual my team always bring "childish" value in our project. But we think it is ok because we enjoy the process.


Anything treppy that comes to my mind

Honestly, I don't understand with this topic. I just want to tell story about my high school's friends and I that have plan to build a business.

In the first time, I never have plan to build business because I think I don't have money and the most important is I don't have partner to build a business. Suddenly, two of my friends come to my home and tell me if they have plan to open a business and offer me to join with them. They need me because I as a business student will understand this. And both of them as an investor and manager.

They both just have plan to open T-shirt store. I said if we have to think about the BMC of our business. And actually my friend never hear about BMC. So, I explain about that first and we start to think together.

After spend much time to discuss, finally we agree we have to change our business. Yap, we want to make boots that suitable used in rainy more over for bikers. This boots still looks fashionable so people don't need to shy when they using that. The material for this product is PVC plastic.

This plan just a plan, up until now, we never meet again and this business not run yet.

The lesson that I got from this story is we have to have commitment to run the business. Money and partner just a tool, the important thing is we have to move to objectify our plan.


My Thoughts about My Own Changes of Thinking, Understanding, Attitude Towards Teamwork and Leadership

This course give me so many lesson; not only about how to get high score but how to be better person.

First, the changes of my thinking is in the beginning if Entrepreneurship Course will contain a lot of assignment how to market the product but actually it is not. In the fact, we have to build our own business. Yes, we have to start from the basis of the business which is think about our BMC. Even we have to make so many video, I don't get what relation between video and entrepreneurship. Then finally I realize as an entrepreneur we have to be creative. Through the video we can express what actually on our mind because presentation and writing are too mainstream ahahaha . . .

Second, the changes in my understanding is about from where we have to start a business. And the answer is BMC (Business Canvas Model). From Steve Blank videos, yes we have to use S, because there are soooo many videos. Indeed, it spend much time to watch the videos but it is equal with what we get. From these videos I can understand every point in BMC.

Third, the changes in my attitude towards teamwork and leadership is as the hard point to explain. Honestly, I am an individual and if myself as a leader I will tend to be authoritarian. Both of attitude are as my big problem when I include in a team. Then, I don't know which side that has been changes but I feel if I be more polite when expressing the thing that I don't agree with. This attitude just to make my team in stable condition.


What insights have I gained about myself after this semester of experience?

The statement that can describe what I did in Entrepreneurship class is "The most course that give me a lot of assignment". But this also give much value to myself.

I can be more understand about myself, my character and my attitude. I know how bad I am when I have to interact with others. Because I less of care about other people feeling. When I don't like with something, I will express it. But frequently, I express it in impolite way. So, many people will offended even mad with me.

Through teamwork, it is teach me how to interact within team members. And to arrange meeting with them because each of us have different activity. Many problem rises within teamwork when we have different opinion up to different schedule. But as a team, we still can finish the assignment on time and in the best result.

Those problem describes the real life and the real work condition when we have to understand and respect others.


What have I changed in my behavior?

As the contain in the diary before, I don't know how to change my bad behavior and can be honest in polite way. But I think teamwork is the best way to improve myself to be better person. I know if every people have their own way to expressing something as long as it is not hurting others. The way that I choose to make me more concerned about other people feeling is "putting myself on other people's shoes.


What skills have I developed within this course?

So many skill that I have develop within this course such as interpersonal skill, organizational skill, even human relations skill. The way to think creatively and under pressure is such a best experience for me. Now, I will try to be polite in expressing something in order to avoid other will getting hurt because of my attitude.

The way to be more respect other when we are in the same team is the best lesson that I get, yap, human relations skill.

Whad did you learn, besides that you need to be a little less blunt, about working in teams? Much of work in busines, especially in big companies, is done in groups. How will you manage yourself and and others differently besides being more polite? I don't get much sense that you are reflecting on your own behior and its relation to group performance very much. I know you learned the material, the BMC and other things, but do you think that you will be a better leader in the future? Why did your friends with the T-shirt idea not get back to you?
