@DrAndrewSchwarz Change management. This was a term that was used a lot but I never quite understood what it meant until this class.

@DrAndrewSchwarz I learned that you must take notice of the impact of different individual’s networks. Communicating effectively and getting buy in from a few people can extend to other parts of the organization and make adoption easier in the long run.

@DrAndrewSchwarz Zoom becoming a household name so quickly was impressive. I had not heard of Zoom prior to the pandemic. Now it is used company-wide. I had used Skype, Teams, WebEx, FaceTime, and others in the past. I have had a very positive experience with Zoom thus far.

@DrAndrewSchwarz It was cool to see the effects of every decision made. Some had positive effects, some had negative, and others had unanticipated effects in other areas, similar to the real world. It speaks to how important following a structured problem solving, data driven process is

@DrAndrewSchwarz Very interesting on how the IS tracked inventory, made projections, and even told the store which batches and how many to make. Seems like it was ahead of its time. Also liked Randy’s thought of leveraging the IS for better control and better decision making

@DrAndrewSchwarz I believe companies need to keep up with the latest technology trend or get left behind. But, also important to note, companies can not just get the latest and greatest and expect to succeed. They must use the technology correctly and in a way that aligns with their business best
