Seminars

April has been set aside as an exciting month for meeting and interacting with "living" proof that entrepreneurship does indeed exist  in our little country Lesotho.

An exciting list/schedule has been set up for visiting individuals who will come at different times that will later be announced.  Visiting lecturers have been secured in the following topics:

1. Student Entrepreneurship
2. Innovation in Africa
3. Starting an entrepreneurial venture (not a small business)
4. Managing and growing an on-going venture
5. Raising capital

You are encouraged to suggest any other areas of interest, and if we can, we shall secure a person to speak in that area.  Please also feel free to suggest any other person that you think should be invited to participate in this series of seminars.

Whilst all care will be taken to ensure that the presentation times for the seminars be at convenient times, please be aware that given the nature of the jobs our visitors do, some seminars will be held at inconvenient times and days for some of you.

All students, regardless of the module they are doing (Business Planning Module and Theory Module) are welcome to attend these seminars.

The Observer Group

Welcome to the Observer Group!  Yet another set of of students who are privileged to access learning materials through our two dedicated learning web portals.

The Observer Group represents over 100 students who are also taking the Entrepreneurship Theory Module, who are not under my direct supervision, who, however, will find these two learning portals as informative and supportive as the rest of the other students do.

The Observer Group, feel free to interact with all other students you may come across on this blogspot.  I have set up a dedicated EDMODO group for you on the EMODO learning portal.  Your registration code is 16e3d5.  I have made available to you supporting learning material that was previously only available to the groups under my supervision.  Please feel free to initiate and engage in any discussions you may find on the both learning portals.

We wish you happy surfing and hope you will find the same joy in using these tools as we all are!

Volunteers Needed

Ladies and Gentlemen ba lekhotla le sa foseng, I have been experiencing loads of problems trying to keep up with all your contact details, corrections, changes of email addresses and the like.  This is taking so much of my time.  This post makes a special call for volunteers who will come help me sort this contacts issues once and for all.

Volunteers would come in at their own convenient time, they may work at their own station of choice.  If I could please have them come in before the end of the week?  Thanking you in advance

Flawsome

FLAWSOME definition:

Consumers don't expect brands to be flawless. In fact, consumers will embrace brands that are FLAWSOME*: brands that are still brilliant despite having flaws; even being flawed (and being open about it) can be awesome. Brands that show some empathy, generosity, humility, flexibility, maturity, humor, and (dare we say it) some character and humanity.

Trendwatching

Trendwatching is one awesome site that watches consumer trends the world over.  If you have the time do visit their website and learn about consumer trends and see if you can relate to any of these trends....

Flawsome lists a lot of examples where corporates, small businesses and non-profits publicly admitted their FLAWS (especially using social media) and transparently acknowledging their "humanness"  thus becoming FLAWSOME!
