SCAMPER model workshop at NBIC

The Scamper model what we started our day off with.Revolving around an abject ,modifying it adding new features on it .By doing all this you will have to substitute a few features combine objects together amplify it and minify then put to other use ,eliminating and then rearranging...Awesome workshop.

That's not all we did we also did about four projects this was fun.Had to be in groups so we communicate with each other as they say "two heads are better then one".We first started of with the scamper model then had to identify the problems facing on line businesses,created businesses based on the problems we identified .Last but not least we where on micro-screening.The presenter was great he tried to meet us half way which he did.

We had a great, wonderful workshop 2day,we did much on Business ideas,how to create on business ideas,how to motivate,innovative,usefulness,viability and growth potential and sustainability of an business.I learn more and gain more experience of how to start up my own business and market it as well.from now i know how to think Globally and trust my instincts and make my product more available.

THE WORKSHOP AT Rlabs Namibia

"The workshop was appropriate and informative, but it was a bit challenging and unexpected activities to do but but we manage it , the workshop gave us lots of experience, but i atleast catch up something ."

Today's Idea Creation Presentation

Today's presentation was great and very informative. I thought i knew what idea creation and screening was all about until Johaness Hassekiel came to give the presentation on Idea creation and Micro-Screening. I can now proudly say, Whatever business ideas i have, i will be able to asses, micro-screen them and use the Scamper Model if the ideas are on product changing, adding new features or eliminating an existing product.

The few group activities that were given helped also, as the say goes "Two heads are better then one"....... so, group activities helps one understand things better.

‘A walk in the technology world, Blessed twice’ compiled by Aini

It’s that time again, whereby I could say; I’m blessed again to receive such a wonderful opportunity from the Namibian Business Innovation Centre. It all started a year ago, with the social media training, and this year I had the same lucky to join and be trained as an Online Marketing consultant.

On the first day of training, 29th January 2013, Mustafa Mor of NBIC introduced us to a topic of online marketing…….what it is? And what you need to be able to execute the tasks as an online consultant for any company, big or small.

Mr. Mor said and I quote “your online marketing goal depends on the campaign you‘re working on, and/or product of that company, and what you want to offer to companies”.

During the training, I had an opportunity to gain extra knowledge about presentation skills as presented by Mr. Mufaro Nesongano. When presenting, you need to find an image that suits you best, and to build good will with your audience. In that time, you need to inform and persuade your clients in buying your offer especially when following the six tips below;

·         Body language

·         Announce “This is important”

·         Pause, just before and after

·         Make the audience laugh just before

·         Look your audience in the eye, not too obvious

·         Smile and relax

·         Tell a  story

Its then I realized I too lack this; I become nervous and get stage flight when presenting. But like the saying goes, never give up and always have a vision in life.

Second training day, 30^th January 2013, I learned how search engine works, thanks to my facilitator Mr. Mor.

 I learned that the search engine rank keywords as to how many times people/ users search for them on the internet, which was actually amazing because that never closed my mind but I ask myself, how does the computer and internet work? It’s pretty fascinating to learn about this.

Michael Bolton As Good Leader

As one of the world’s leading thinkers of soul and rock musics, Michael Bolton has pioneered his musical career in the middle of the 1970s. Achieving  and receiving awards from both the American Music awards and Grammy Awards.He is one of those artists with songs that inspire, motivates as well as educating. Believe me, all his songs have massages that one can learn something from it, unlike some of nowadays artist who release songs without any message and too noisy. He established the Michael Bolton Foundation (now Michael Bolton Charities) to assist women and children at risk from the effects of poverty as well as emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. As we breathing to day,The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce  also recognised Bolton with a star on the Hollywood walk Fame for his musical and charitable contributions.

Arsene Wenger...a true leader

Leadership is plainly defined as, "organizing a group of people to achieve a common goal". One of the people I look up to in the "leadership" context is the coach of my favourite football team, Arsenal, Arsene Wenger. He is a very charismatic leader, and he stood by his decisions through thick and thin. That is a quality of leadership called taking responsibility for both wins and losses. He had also showed another quality of a true leader by admitting whenever he had made a mistake, and taking ownership of it.
