Dear Students,

I hope this e-mail finds you well. This e-mail will be long, but it will contain vital information for you as the class moves forward. So please bear with me.
This e-mail will include the ff:
  • Class Reminders
  • Vivek Wadhwa’s & Other Resources
  • Opportunities to Speak with Other Execs
  • Midpoint Review with Sponsors Schedules
Class Reminders
Swati Dasgupta, Director of Venture Technology at Siemens will be visiting our class tomorrow. Prof. Darwin has sent a previous e-mail detailing what he would like the teams to prepare. In case you overlooked the e-mail, he requested the ff:
  1. Slide #1 – Business Model Canvas – one-liners, no wrapping – abbreviations are ok.
  2. Slide #2 – Your ecosystems and partners
  3. Slide #3 – important for investment decisions (ROE, ROA, RNOA) – current and projected.
  4. Slide #4 – Where does the innovation fit into the existing structure? And why?
Also, remember that pre-presentations will be on March 15 & 17, 2014. I will be setting up a sign up sheet on Wejoinin.com soon for teams to choose presentation time slots.
Vivek Wadwha’s & Other Resources

Zane Cooper, Haas’s CTO, shares this recommendation for recording your meetings: “InterCall audio conferences can be recorded.
