iWiSoft Video Converter

This week I decided to play around with iWisoft Video Converter, and I played around with it!

Well, I would like to commend teh fact that this software is freely downloadable on the link in the caption below the picture. It allows for various features for editing videos like converting video formats (including HD), audio ripping from videos, merging videos, trimming videos, adding watermarks/logs on to the videos, texts and cropping the video along with so many other features.

Well it worked out quite well when I converted a playlist I found on YouTube that was uploaded by a fellow colleague. I decided to merge all of the videos, trim the videos at the beginning to create one synchronized video without it feeling like it's a series of 4 different videos. Well, it kinda worked out. There were a few a glitches and a few things that did disappoint me because I did not read the fine print. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. If you paid nothing, you might as well get nothing from the software itself.

The software is not for digital media personnel. In no way will it make your life better, stick to your usual toys. But it's good for those willing to convert other video formats to the MAC OS/iOS video formats that only play on iOS and MAC devices.

Future of Logistics Management

This session was insightful introduction into the future of logistics. I learnt that the the world of work is shifting. The corporate environment is slowly moving with the times and is increasingly digitizing. The employee is therefore expected to evolve into an employee that is able to: Work anytime, Work anywhere, Work on on any device, Focus on outputs, Create their own ladder, Customize their work, Share information, Develop into a leader, Rely on collaboration technologies, Focus on adaptive learning, and Learn on their own. However, the lack of digital culture and training is hampering the logistics and transportation industry. More over, companies are concerned about various challenges that are impeding their ability to digitize their operations. Companies are concerned with data security and data privacy, especially with the increasing use of external data. What I also found insightful was the the high financial investments and the lack of digital strategy are other issues...

Concept Mapping

I recently underwent a crash course in Concept Mapping. I've always been accustomed to CMap anyway, I started using it in my first year of my undergraduate Accounting degree. We were tasked by our Information Systems lecturer (Mrs. Lydia Kimani) to explore CMap by developing a concept map for some topic (I can barely even remember). My supervisor (Mr. Daniels) went over CMap with us again, and I decided once more to actually use the tool. CMap Tools (Home Page CMAP) The fact that CMap was not created for the purposes of brainstorming and mind mapping but rather for an in depth explanatory session of certain concepts that only an expert or a knowledgeable person may be able to explain. Even though its main focus is to provide a platform for easy conceptualization of ideas or concepts, it has a vast range of tools within the the platform. One would expect the platform to only be useful when it comes to text, and not in essence take over the work of PowerPoint or Keyword-but...

Innovation in Motion

We were tasked with preparing a presentation that describes constraints that I am experiencing in my business. The presentation must also describe how the application of methods/tools/techniques learned during the course will enable me to better manage this situation. This final week was very nerve-wrecking and very interesting for me. It was nerve-wrecking because I have a severe speech impediment (a stutter) that may unnecessarily cause me to take longer than the other students. So, I decided to record my presentation to ease this process. It was also very interesting because I work in a very complex organization that is part of a very dynamic and international Science and Technology project that is experiencing but also addressing complex challenges. It was exciting for me to outline these issues and also providing my proposed solutions to these challenges.
