#BIGDAY




Team Awesome, hard at work. 
#BiggestDayofOurLives

SHOE-PHORIA !!

   


Today was a #BigDay for our team. We were able to meet and have an in-depth conversation about one of the key quality management aspects of DSW, "shoe-phoria."  The clever term is representative of the order processing and tracking system, which DSW now relies on to satisfy customer orders with emphasis on quality control.  At this point in time, team-mates, Melanie, Karla, Alejandra, Edward and I are interested in digging deeper to find out just how this "Shoe-phoria" system contributes to customer service.

We've Found Our Order

     Despite the fact that today is Columbus Day I wanted to get this bit of information up, brought to my attention by one of the team members, that our order for Competitive Priorities was finalized over a week ago.  Jogging through my memory and the stockpile of emails that I refuse to delete I was able to confirm that this was quite true.
 So much for trying to keep everything in your head, Ed...see what I just did?  Any-who, click for more after the break.

Tools Of The Trade

As the Team "Awesome" (per Randy, member) we've found it quite difficult to find time for regular meetings and that "face-time" that deems itself necessary for any group project, despite scale.

I'm currently involved with another project within my Digital Marketing course; the same issues persist within that collective as well when it comes to establishing meetings.

I've experimented with a solution not too long ago via Google+ titled "Google Hangouts", incorporating the common essentials to online media to include but not limit to video, voice, and screen sharing.


From  my experience the interaction and productivity went through just the same as if it was performed face to face.  Parties can consist up to a max of ten individuals which is far more than you will utilize in a group project at a university level, am I to be corrected on that last statement?

I'm looking to implement this into the Team Awesome work flow....see what I just did there?

I'll let you know how it goes, if it goes.
