Date of First Meeting: 23 August 2012
Purpose and achievements of this meeting
This was our first ever team meeting in order to discuss ideas for the nightclub, we had already made the group and named our group two weeks earlier. We called ourselves group Nintendo and the students who made the group and were present for the meetings were Rebecca Olsthoorn,(our team captain) Jamie Butler, Kyle Coates and Anthony Cortellazzi. This was the group’s first meeting and therefore we had no idea what our business was going to be. We discussed certain topics and ideas on businesses and we all decided that the idea that we needed to come up with was a business that Bunbury did not have. We had all decided on a nightclub, although Bunbury already has nightclubs we all decided that we would try and make it the best type of nightclub possible in the South West and comparable to nightclubs in bigger cities such as Perth. This was our first initial breakthrough as a group as we all agreed on a new nightclub in Bunbury and we we’re all happy with the idea. We decided that the next week we would continue to work and come up with new ideas, such as name proposals and ideas for the nightclub.
Date of Second Meeting: 30 August 2012
Purpose and achievements of this meeting
This group meeting was the meeting where we had made the most amounts of breakthroughs as a group. We all entered this meeting knowing that our idea was a nightclub. As a team we started a mind map which gave us many ideas for the nightclub. This included issues such as location and how it was run, however the biggest breakthrough, not only for this meeting but for all our meetings, was the fact that we managed to come up with a name and a slogan for a nightclub. Names were being suggested by every member in the group however we all agreed on ‘your nightclub.’ It was quite interesting as to how the name was mentioned, since we decided to do a new nightclub and to meet the expectations of clubbers in Bunbury, we felt that the general population needed to feel a sense of ownership and belonging, therefore ‘Your Nightclub’ was decided. Another major breakthrough was the slogan, Jamie came up with the idea of the slogan being “it’s not Your nightclub, without you” The group immediately felt that these two were very good ideas. We continued to work on the mind map and came up with what we felt were very good ideas.. After finishing the mind map we decided that next week would be our next meeting and that would be the meeting we would all decided on tasks for the presentation. It was definitely a very productive team meeting.
Date of Third Meeting: 6 September 2012
Purpose and achievements of this meeting
This was our third team meeting and we realised that this was the best time to start picking and choosing, as a team, who would do which section for the presentation. Topics such as the business overview, SWOT analysis, Budget and other ideas were all discussed and we all managed to come to an agreement on who would do certain parts. After we all decided on different parts, we all discussed the ideas that we would speak about. An example being that we decided one team member doing the overview, which is an introduction to the business, and we needed to discuss what to put in the overview, we continued to do this with all the topics in order for us to do the work in our own time. We agreed that we would each do draft copies of our speeches and the next group we would regroup and come together as a team and try to see what we could all come up with.
Date of Fourth Meeting: 13 September 2012
Purpose and achievements of this meeting
This was our final team meeting before presentations as presentations were the next week. We had each gone away and done our own separate tasks for the speech as we had decided on the week earlier. We were all satisfied that we all had done the work we needed to, however the issue was mentioned that we had named it “Your Nightclub” for reasons mentioned in the second meeting however we had not actually gotten the opinion of anybody else, we had only put ideas into the nightclub that we thought were good, not anybody else. Therefore as a team we made a survey and we had each gone around to other groups who were also working as teams on their presentations, and conducted short and thorough surveys. The information we received was beneficial in order for us to realise what the general population actually wanted out of a nightclub. This information helped us immensely and helped our group with more ideas on how to run the nightclub, and for some of our group members we had to change our drafts based on the survey results, but this did not bother us as we believe the survey results made our ideas and our presentation better.
