Prototype and test
- 2. Getting a job interview for John who is completing his graduation at West Chester University at the end of this summer. Problem Statement
- 3. Setup a student community to collaborate on job opportunities, soft-skills, cross training and interview tips. IDEA #1 Community for Placement
- 4. PROTOTYPE #1 Web Portal Student Community Portal Students/Graduates Professors Lean web portal setup with basic structure to prototype the effectiveness of student community to help get placed in jobs
- 5. What worked well? - Facilitates the student community setup for seeking job interviews, sharing information and training. What could be improved? – Integrating community setup across different regional universities. Questions? – Who take the responsibility to update and maintain contents as student graduate and find jobs? TEST PROTOTYPE #1
- 6. University provides students/ graduates with brilliant ideas to help start their own business. IDEA #2 University Venture Capital
- 7. PROTOTYPE #2 University Portal for IDEA Submission Students/Graduates Faculty/Advisors Funding Committee Lean web portal for student/ student group to submit / review business ideas. The prototype gauges the interest and help facilitate reviewing the feasibility of this program with the University.
- 8. TEST PROTOTYPE #2 What worked well? - Facilitates the general idea of how an IDEA submission and review could work in a community setup. What could be improved? – The funding could include other independent venture capitalists and industry. Questions? – Wouldn’t a community based rating be largely based popularity and not business viability?
- 9. Improvement for Prototype #1: Need to define how the community setup can be sustained as students graduate and find jobs as an improvement to the defined solution. Improvement for Prototype #2: Need to define a way for IDEA validation and review as it cannot be based on popularity or this may set a wrong tone. Reflections
