27.3 - The 3rd work day

This time, the scenario of "flying to the year 2040" was brought into the workshop. At the same time, our group was broken to form new groups with other members in the class. We could not make the common products together as usual, however there are some pics collected from us when we joined and discussed around with all the groups:

Working environment in 2040 & actions needed in 2020

The second part of the lecture we gathered with our original group. We were given the task to think about the grocery store again. Now this time it was about how to destroy the industry. We were supposed to come up with 40 different ideas on how to achieve this goal. It sounded like a lot in the beginning, but we quickly came up with around 20 different ideas. We wrote the ideas to pieces of paper, kind of like what we did with mind mapping and brain storming, combining them. We tried to think about the subject on many different angles, including the producers, customers, suppliers and so on. After this the assignment was changed to on how to prevent the destruction of the industry. We just basically went through every point we made and tried to make a counter argument to them. I think this assignment was nice, since it helps on understanding how quickly you can change the mind-set from a destructive one to a preserving one. Our group has really become good on understanding how the grocery industry works. 

Some comments on the workshop:
- Turning around with new groups, new people brings a new and motivated atmosphere that is good for creating new ideas
- Time limitation (in this case) fosters the speed of thinking.
