Teaching an Old Dog Creative Business

If I was asked the top three things I have learnt from this project, I would say firstly it has made me recognize the value and importance of communication between both those you are working with and customers or investors. If we as a group had no communication there would have been no business at all. From brainstorming ideas to finalizing plans it is vital to keep in contact the whole way through. Even if it means a few arguments along the way, without communication a business could collapse.

Secondly it made me understand how important it is for people to bring different things to a business. In our group for example there were people good at the creative side who weren't as comfortable in dealing with the customers and vice versa. From what I saw, it is best to have a range of talents within a business partnership, rather that everyone being talented it the same area.

Thirdly it has given me an idea of how to develop a business and the skills you need to manage it. As I learnt within my group, skills such as organization, decision-making and marketing are vital in allowing a business to work and progress.

(The fourth most valuable thing I have learnt would have to be how to make a blog, or I wouldn't have been able to babble on so much!)
