A Week Gone Along

By
This week started off slow rather than the usual fast-paced life or week I'd have in my life. I'm still much focused on the whole Digital Story side of things. I have my audio and my pictures together but the whole software is giving me a problem to say nonetheless. I am not a huge fan of using this type of software that is not really user-friendly.

I am trying to piece in everything bit by bit, and I hope it does go down quite well. The week has been catching up with me, it's escalated to Thursday already and I have yet to finish this project. I will hopefully get it done by the end of the week.

That's basically been my week thus far except the whole issue with vacation is really one that interests me since we are not really on vacation through out these holidays.

Innovation in Motion

By
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. Background and Overview Inter-University Institute for Data Intensive Astronomy (IDIA) was born out of the partnership of ...

Future of Logistics Management

By
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

By
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...
