We need to know what everyone needs, so that we have reasons for asking for money. The more detailed your group can analysis what it needs the better we will be able to ask for it and monitor how money is being spent.
We need to have potentially one other person (probably from the People’s Group) since they are the largest in the class to join the Capital’s group we only have 3 people total and myself (Scott) am also part of the other class, so it is important to have another person so the work load can be balanced better.
As towards a name for our firm I am ok with Clark & Young, referring to President Clark and BYU-I.

COMM 250
1. Great "act rather than be acted upon" when I came to class from the All-employee meeting with President Clark, class was already underway, with the prayer and scripture done and Peer-to-Peer teaching being done between fellow students in a discussion about improving our blogging, etc. Way to go, "Clark & Young!"
2. Blogging--as I understand it, the decision, with the Technology group leading implementation, was to have each of 8 discipline guides, (5 Functional Areas) People, Market, Technology, Capital, Organization, (3 Practice Areas) Strategy, Operations and Change, posting every day about key insights and activities in their 7 Habits, Mission, Expectations, Group Representatives
3. I was reminded in the All-employee meeting about the opportunity I will take before each and every class to pray that our time may be for your best benefit. In thinking how we're rethinking education here and how that continues to stretch us all, I also commit to praying that collectively--and individually--we will all be blessed with the additional increasing capacity we will need as we strive to learn "line upon line, precept upon precept." I'm reminded of the scripture--"teach ye (one another) diligently, and my grace shall attend you..." http://scriptures.lds.org/dc/88/78#78 As we stretch ourselves and strive--for our families and other life's work--to "learn at the speed of change" in organizations, the economy and the world, we will find that His grace is sufficient after we have done all we can do!
4. Eric lead us in a discussion of making one member each of each of the 5 functional areas the liason to the four other areas to facilitate communication. We need to be thinking about that and get back to him.
5. Scott, Eric, and now possibly David are going to be attending both 250 and 455. Some students from 455 may soon be attending 250. If we have one of them as a group facilitator for 250 in each functional area, it should help with communication and common expectations.
6. We discussed having our class be primarily focused on founding, developing and operating "Clark & Young" with a secondary focus on external client service to our large, non-profit Client A, and our smaller, for-profit Client B. Comm 455 would have the opposite approach. We discussed how for external client service Comm 250 would fill the roles of: Analyst, Consultant and Senior Consultant--and that Comm 455 would fulfill the roles of Manager, Senior Manager, and Partner. We mentioned the need for our Market group to evaluate the brand/corporate identity "Clark & Young" to see if we move ahead with it or rebrand ourselves.
7. We spent 10 minutes talking about Stephen Covey's "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" outlining for the first time the maturity continuum and each of the 7 Habits. We applied them to Org Comm as "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective ORGANIZATIONS." http://www.franklincovey.com
I stepped in because a student had expressed they were confused about where we were headed with the class--and often that which is most personal is most general. I believe today we took a big step forward in helping define our future! Thanks for how proactive you are all becoming!
