Resourcefulness and entrepreneurship go hand in hand

                                    Nelle's silverware was borrowed by Joseph and co

Joseph admitted, (and his group was observed to be such) that his group was very resourceful:

l.  He borrowed an oven toaster from the Cafeteria canteen (at the second floor) to bake their pizza which was very tasty;

2.  The group borrowed kitchenware from Nelles group;  in turn they asked for cheese from Joseph's group;

3.  They asked for parsley from Nelles group

The JenLo group went down to the cafeteria to have some of their ingredients baked;   they brought some of the fruit salad already prepared.

Alvin said that they did not have a menu in mind when they came:   they observed what others were doing.

In the pitch portion, I noted the groups excelled in:

l.  Branding

2. Making outlandish stories about their creation  (about singapore esplanade cum mango.....)

                                Very bad for my blood sugar

                                       Hmm it is good tasting;  Jenlo likes what she prepared

                               Preparing the strawberry org...

                                   The Mango Singapore esplanade

                                    Joseph's group making the pitch

                                 Nelle, with the cook, Evan who was a UAAP MVP

                                 Arlo, Jenlo and Cam making their pitch for their delicious dish



Close up pictures of the dishes

                                               Joseph's group,  their pizza tastes great

                                    Sweet and delicious,  the ham treat tastes great

                            The red orgasmic treat (will make you wet?) and paella con chili

Thank you guys for your enthusiasm and cooperation.  Congratulations for great job.  Bravo zulu

N.B.  We are still awaiting the judging by Ms. Athens Cruz.  She must be having a hard time deciding. I hope she can decide soon

Group Creative Activities - Preparing Menu and 2 Dishes

                                 After the pitch;  food tasting and dinner

AGSB, Ateneo Professional School, de la Costa Campus.  January 15, 2013.  The MBA Standard Sentrep class had did cooking/food preparation exercise for one hour as part of Group Creative Exercise.  It was a graded exercise, and Ms Athens Cruz, one of the students was chosen as the judge to choose the best group.

The exercise involved the professor bringing in two major ingredients:    bell pepper and strawberries.  It is the challenge for the groups to come up with two dishes:   one sour and one sweet that match the two major ingredients.  This was announced before hand and the students could bring utensils and other ingredients to complete the two dishes.

After wards they made the pitches (to sell the food to their classmates) by 8 o clock and thereafter, to taste and eat their creation (free dinner)

Why was this done?

l.  There is no fab lab or 3d printer to practice product design;   (we did it earlier with trash)
2.  Food is the biggest consumption in the society;  no one may go wrong with food business;
3.  Food preparation techniques/strategies could be endless
4.  Almost everybody, man or woman would know how to cook;   so practicing innovation and creativity via this exercise is easy

                                  Ingredients from the professor:  bell pepper dn strawberries

                                  Startting to prepare:   Cams, Arlo and Jenlos group

                             Evan, Nelle and JPs group;  they brought silverware

                              Joseph, Alvin and Jaypee were the most resourceful

                                The judge - Athens observing process and food preparation

                                   Nelle observes as Evan prepares the paella con chili

                                 Alvin, Jaypee, Joseph and Crissy

                                        JP thinking of next step

                                   Ice cream and strawberries (they bought their own!)

                                 The dish look delicious and tasty

                  Athens about to taste one of the dishes (the ice cream would melt)
