Team Mawan spent today in a conference room on the upper floor of HQ Raleigh. Our usual work space was being used for a meeting between professions but we were able to carry out our work else where. Much of the work we did today was conducted within a non disclosure agreement (NDA), so we can’t discuss too much of the actual work we conducted. However, I will focus on the actual work environment and opportunities we got to utilize. We were able to connect apple devices to the TV screen in the conference room and presented data and research findings to each other. We called various local stores about their products and their markets. We also researched information and competition online. In the conference room we operated out of today, there was a large glass “white” board for sharing ideas to each other. We analyzed individual findings in a group setting by writing our information on the white board. At the end of the day, we utilized these devices again in our presentation to Mr. Mark Self. We summarized our market research and informed him about all of the calls made to various stores. Mr. Self set us up with a tour on Monday of Vector Textiles laboratory, which we are excited to get to investigate. Again, he was impressed with the work we conducted today!
