Day 4 Can I describe how the internship executives, managers or personnel identify ideas, screen ideas, criteria to assess ideas or “wide ideas” into worthy ideas, and then how do individuals discuss and delete ideas of little or no value? What criteria are used? How do people in the organization learn those criteria? [RO]
Please apply the DEAL-based Internship Experience Reflection Framework and describe a Internship-related experience (objectively and in some detail) articulating your learning related to how the individual and small work groups generate ideas: “I learned that”….”I learned that when”… “This learning matters because”…”In light of this learning”….
I learned that the CEO will listen to all the Ideas and classify them in importance to relevance from what is urgent to what is necessary but not needed at the moment. Ideas are assessed in a manner of topics. A topic is listed and then there is a brainstorming session. The ideas are then listed from relevance to importance and then re listed in urgency. This adds value to the company because it narrows down what tasks are more urgent to implement and what is more important for the operations.
I learned this while I was brainstorming ideas for redesigning and improving the social network that the company is trying to build.
This learning matters because I am able to understand the complexity and the hierarchy of the ways ideas are classified in importance to the organization. It also teaches me about the way an organization operates and how it sets its priority.
In light of this learning, the complexity of creativity in my environment is something that I need to catch up on. I feel that I generate one good idea for every ten good ideas that my coworkers generate.
