My Learning Journey

Individual Blog Reflection of Phebe (SID: 52980554)

I recall the first step of my learning journey in this course – creation of our group name: CHOPSTICKS. Our goal is to learn with the other 16 pairs of the class, and finally we want to make a big feast. Did I try to un-bundle? Did I try to re-bundle? Did I contribute my best to collaborate? I reflect my learning journey by looking at team practices and team processes of Chopsticks and with collaboration with our morning team (Kite and Wind).

Team Practices

How do we communicate?

Communication method within Chopsticks and with the morning team (Kite and Wind) is different. We firstly touched base with Kite and Wind by email, as this is the only contact information we got. When we successfully connected Kite and Wind, we shared our mobile phone numbers and opened a whatsapp group, as we generally agreed whatsapp is a channel which all of us feel comfortable to use.

My Learning Journal of a Virtual Collaboration in Virtual Teams

Near the middle of MGT6209 High Performance Collaborations course, we were given a term-end group assignment to work with our corresponding team from the morning class. In this assignment, the two teams were to represent two companies of different industries and innovate for a new entrepreneurial adventure in a virtual manner. Eventually we had to blog about what a winning virtual collaboration experience should be and how it could be achieved by reflecting upon the concepts we learned in class. In the following paragraph I documented what and how things happened in our virtual team experience to share my learning journey.

GOOD MORNING: More Time, For a Better Breakfast 

Take KMB buses to work and win your time back from busy traffics. With our proposed Bus&Breakfast apps (B&B), KMB’s passengers can utilize their smartphone or tablet to order a chef who will cook the passengers’ breakfast while they are sitting in our buses. Passengers no longer have to give in to queuing for just a cold sandwich or junk premade food which is the only breakfast that other means of transport can offer them to buy in crowded stations.

Using B&B apps, passengers become a member of a virtual gourmet union of office districts. The B&B beta 1.0 version is designed to cover a cross-harbor route, which passes through Sheung Wan, Central, Admiralty, Wanchai and terminates at Causeway Bay, frequently used by white collars who live in Tuen Mun and work in those districts. The fame and reliability of KMB (Kowloon Motor Bus) will line up the best HK-style cafes near the route’s bus stops to join B&B’s online ordering service. All our passengers need is just to download or update their current KMB mobile apps to the new B&B beta 1.0 which will be available for all iOS and Android devices. Once they step on a bus and get connected to KMB’s free-WiFi (or scan a QR code labeled near their seats with their only 4G mobile networks), they can open B&B to browse the cafe menus as well as customer reviews and place a direct breakfast order online to a cafe near where they will get off. While the passengers are then sitting back to catch some sleep or do their own whatever businesses in the 90-minute journey, the cafes indeed have already started preparing the breakfast ordered. The GPS equipped on the bus will update the cafe chefs about the passengers’ arrival time so as to make sure their breakfasts are freshly made-to-order and packed nicely, awaiting the passengers to come in and pay-pick-go once they get off the bus. Occasional traffic jams above the ground no longer hold passengers back from taking KMB buses to work. More transportation time does not mean no breakfast time anymore.
