TNT Battle

We (students of College University of Rotterdam, specification Concept Development) are hard working on a new battle, for TNT (within Battle of Concepts). And last previous weeks we had some very nice brainstorm sessions, to give an impression of what we are dealing with:


TNT's battle is quite a something, and we want to make the most out of it. The battle's aim this time is to create a new service within TNT's photo service ("They have a photo service?"- yes they do).

Next week we are finishing the document, hold a presentation and turning in the result. We are working quite on schedule but to work within the boundaries of the assignment is quite hard, as we believe the solution for their problem is already given. Though is their solution truthfully the solution for their problem ? We don't think so.

Nevertheless we should keep within their boundaries, and only hint in the document for the real solution.

Besides, I'm leading my team a little differently now, with support of the team, creating somewhat better results. So what am I doing different now than previous battles? Well, to get the most out of the team, motivating them I created a percentage system which we discussed in the beginning: if you are to late at a meeting, 1% of your share goes down every 15 minutes. If you are not there at all, you lose 5% (aswell as if you come but did not do your homework). This means you have to work harder as a team, but If you perform alright nothing happens and you will only gain percentages...
