First working day @ TuAMK 15.3.13

Last Friday our team met up for the second time to continue the work we've started on "lähiruoka" - locally produced food.

The morning began with an overall discussion on how everybody were doing, how the project was evolving and how the group got on in general. We received some questions to think about and the result of which should be presented to all; these included a question grid that encouraged us to reflect over things we already knew, versus things we need to know in order for the project to proceed.

During this process we finally came up with our name - the Five Fingers! Hooray!

After a well deserved lunch break we continued working, this time focusing on literature. We decided to all focus on different fields to collect as much information as possible - and then to come together as one and be even smarter!
We also came up with a business plan that looks like this:

Roland:
- Read Green business for dummies. 
- Try to contact local farmers and business owners regarding their view on locally produced food items and some first hand experience dealing with the market.

Linda:
- Focus on branding
- Will be in charge of writing blog posts about the groups activities

Alexandre:
- Focus on logistics
How does the logistics for local food items differ from the normal items.
Pros/ cons?

Jeanette:
- Focus on markets (Local markets, potential competitors)
What's the overall situation for our company on the market?

Marjo:
- Focus on local foods (try to define it) The book you brought with you (hyvä ruoka paha ruoka)
How does local foods benefit the consumer, farmer and the business owner?

Tony:
- In charge of reading other teams blogs (Should get them from Timo and the innoblog) and sharing it with the team
- Focus on innovations (competing on the edge) I red the description and it sounds interesting.

In addition, all of us will come up with questions for a possible interview with the client. We formed a goal - what is it that we wish to accomplish by doing all of this? The aim looks like following: 

We should have a portfolio containing a wide variety of information regarding local foods (Product, market, logistics and so on) which should contain all aspects of local foods that we can come across as we do not really know what the specific assignment will be."

Also, we agreed on a terrifying punishment if someone doesn't pull their part or meet the set deadlines: Bake a cake for the team!

For now, over and out :)
