  • 0:04 - 0:05
    Hello students,
  • 0:05 - 0:07
    and welcome to Module 4
  • 0:07 - 0:10
    of our
    Intro to Entrepreneurship class.
  • 0:11 - 0:14
    This week,
    we're doing a design thinking activity,
  • 0:14 - 0:16
    so I'm going to spend
    a little bit of time
  • 0:16 - 0:19
    explaining
    exactly what you're doing.
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    You will be engaging
    in this activity
  • 0:21 - 0:24
    and then completing
    this week's discussion.
  • 0:26 - 0:29
    Just a friendly reminder
    to stay on track
  • 0:29 - 0:31
    using your course schedule,
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    with all of the different assignments,
    discussions and quizzes.
  • 0:34 - 0:35
    If you ever have any questions,
  • 0:35 - 0:37
    don't hesitate to email me
  • 0:37 - 0:39
    or use my appointment calendar
  • 0:39 - 0:42
    that's under my picture
    on the course home page
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    to set up a time to meet.
  • 0:44 - 0:45
    I've been meeting
    with several of you,
  • 0:45 - 0:49
    and it's really great
    to get to engage.
  • 0:49 - 0:53
    So, this week,
    you are, as always,
  • 0:53 - 0:57
    reviewing your lesson
    and practice in Module 4.
  • 0:58 - 1:01
    We're going to go
    over the design thinking activity
  • 1:01 - 1:03
    here in just a minute.
  • 1:03 - 1:05
    You've already read the chapter
    for the week.
  • 1:05 - 1:07
    There are a few more questions
    for you
  • 1:07 - 1:10
    in this week's quiz related
    to Chapter 4.
  • 1:11 - 1:14
    The other thing that you need to be
    finishing up this week
  • 1:14 - 1:19
    is you need to find a person
    to interview
  • 1:19 - 1:20
    for the midterm project,
  • 1:20 - 1:24
    which is
    the Entrepreneur Interview Assignment.
  • 1:24 - 1:27
    Next week, you are turning
    in a 5-point assignment
  • 1:27 - 1:31
    that simply tells me
    who you're interviewing,
  • 1:31 - 1:33
    what company they founded,
  • 1:33 - 1:37
    or what company
    they have a leadership position in,
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    and, you know, what they do,
    just very briefly.
  • 1:39 - 1:41
    And then you need to put together
  • 1:41 - 1:43
    at least 12 interview questions.
  • 1:43 - 1:48
    If you look at the Entrepreneur
    Interview report instructions,
  • 1:48 - 1:51
    you'll see there's lots
    of potential questions
  • 1:51 - 1:54
    in there you can pull from,
    you can tweak them,
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    you can add your own.
  • 1:56 - 1:58
    That's what is due next week.
  • 1:58 - 2:00
    If you need help finding somebody
    to interview,
  • 2:00 - 2:03
    I need you to email me today,
    ASAP.
  • 2:03 - 2:05
    It will take me a few days
  • 2:05 - 2:10
    to, um, to get people arranged
    if you need some help.
  • 2:10 - 2:11
    Great.
  • 2:12 - 2:13
    And then in three weeks,
  • 2:13 - 2:15
    you will be turning in the report,
  • 2:15 - 2:18
    which is a paper
    where you are writing a summary
  • 2:18 - 2:22
    of your interview
    with an entrepreneur
  • 2:22 - 2:25
    or a person in leadership
    in a company.
  • 2:25 - 2:29
    You're asked--
    this is 1,000-word paper,
  • 2:29 - 2:32
    and you need to make sure
    that you include a research citation
  • 2:32 - 2:34
    for the interview.
  • 2:36 - 2:36
    So, this week,
  • 2:36 - 2:41
    we're focusing
    on a real-life practice that occurs
  • 2:41 - 2:45
    in companies and social ventures
    all over the world.
  • 2:45 - 2:47
    It's called "Design Thinking,"
  • 2:47 - 2:48
    and this is a process
  • 2:48 - 2:52
    that helps a team of people,
    a group of people,
  • 2:52 - 2:55
    um, who maybe employ--
    who are colleagues,
  • 2:55 - 2:57
    who are working together
    on the team,
  • 2:57 - 3:00
    to identify a problem
  • 3:00 - 3:03
    or an unmet need that exists,
  • 3:03 - 3:07
    and to start
    to create market-based solutions
  • 3:07 - 3:09
    to those problems.
  • 3:10 - 3:14
    You are completing
    a Design Thinking activity on your own
  • 3:14 - 3:19
    using the provided
    Design Thinking worksheet.
  • 3:19 - 3:20
    I'm going to pop over here
  • 3:20 - 3:23
    and show
    that to you very quickly,
  • 3:23 - 3:27
    um... um, just a sec.
  • 3:27 - 3:29
    So this Design Thinking,
  • 3:29 - 3:30
    um...
  • 3:33 - 3:34
    worksheet...
  • 3:36 - 3:39
    was, um, I've developed it for you
  • 3:39 - 3:43
    based on the work
    from the Stanford Design School.
  • 3:43 - 3:46
    This will provide you
    a step-by-step process,
  • 3:46 - 3:49
    which I'm also going to narrate you
    through here
  • 3:49 - 3:53
    for the next 5
    to 10 minutes, okay?
  • 3:53 - 3:56
    So, you need to find somebody
    in your life to interview.
  • 3:56 - 3:59
    That's how this whole thing starts,
    okay?
  • 3:59 - 4:01
    It can be anybody,
    it can be a friend,
  • 4:01 - 4:04
    a family member, a colleague,
    a spouse,
  • 4:04 - 4:09
    whatever, and you're just looking
    to identify a simple
  • 4:09 - 4:13
    but straightforward problem
    that they personally experience.
  • 4:13 - 4:14
    It can be anything.
  • 4:14 - 4:16
    In this week's lesson
    and practice,
  • 4:16 - 4:18
    you're going to watch
    a couple videos,
  • 4:18 - 4:23
    one from Jane Chen,
    who was a student at Stanford,
  • 4:23 - 4:25
    went overseas
    and uncovered a problem
  • 4:25 - 4:28
    that she and her team
    then have been working to solve,
  • 4:28 - 4:31
    and there's-- actually,
    she turned it into a business, okay?
