I found it difficult trying to a military DE initiative within the constraints of the template. I think because military funding comes from capital projects and life cycle management practices, there is not much on the subject. People just seem to accept that if one can justify the requirement (enough), the money shows up.
This is interesting, how most of us are using this wiki as a threaded discussion, rather than a wiki! Bradley - you can edit the comments, that is what wiki's are for. If you choose "edit page" you can correct grammar errors and more importantly add your own thoughts directly to the page. O fcourse you can add comments as I am doing here, but better to use wiki as a wiki and edit directly ie adding your likes or dislikes of the assignment, or even adding a new page.Terry
Overall I enjoyed this assignment and it challenged me to critically think. Thank you.
It will take time to acclimate to a different format such as me2u. At the end of the day, most wiki engines are the same, with the same positive results.
I really enjoyed the challenge of the strategic plan. This course/assignment came at a very good time as the Director of Core Surgery and I are actually in the beginning stages of considering the development of a small DE business therefore this gave me an opportunity to really think through a strategic plan.
I liked the opportunity to formalize everything that had previously been assumed about the business plan, and verify that my business partner and I did indeed agree on what we are building.
I found the exercise of comparing strategic plans enlightening. Most surprizing was how poorly it is done by some credible educational institutions. Everyone becomes a great example, some of how to do it, other's of how not to do it. By completing this assignment we have gained a great tool for business application.
