Spectrum Functionality- End of Year
After working with Spectrum for the past year, I learned a lot about the difficulties of creating a functional business. In the beginning, it was great to see the company start working together to get the basics down, but as the year went on it became harder and harder. Over the course of the year, our company became less motivated in getting things done which lead to missing deadlines and not producing the best quality work. However, we learned how difficult a business to function well can be. It requires the whole company to work together in order for it to be a success.
Functionality- Middle of Year
Spectrum operates decently, but could definitely use some work. We have chiefs for each department that help run each sector smoothly. However, they aren't here as much as the actual workers in the department which makes it difficult to sometimes know what to do. Also, we don't always have good deadlines set, which makes it hard to understand when we need to get things done. Overall, our company can use some work on it's overall function and efficiency.
Artifact- Marketing Board
This picture is just our department progress on a marketing board. This wasn't our final board, we were working with different colors.
Self-Assessment
I believe that I've done a good job working with my peers in my department. I do what I need to do and always know when things are due for myself. However, I don't always know when things are due for our company as a whole. For example, our marketing board has changed so many times and eventually was rushed at the end because we had no time left. This was annoying because I worked on a lot of different ones, that were never even used. However, to grade myself, I think I've done a good job to keep our department functioning well.
For the Future
It is important that a company function smoothly. Learning from mistakes in this class will only benefit me in the future. I will know what to not do and what to do when it comes time to work for a major company. A company running smoothly allows the company to produce the best quality product at a good efficiency. This class has taught me skills that I will use later in life to make sure a company runs smoothly and efficiently.
