Outcome from weeks 7-9

During weeks 7-9 we were and still are trying to end our current and past tasks. For week 9 our team is supposed to evolve one idea per each group member to create a promoting plan for our customer - EOS. During 8. week we have started "Use case" assignment. The aim is to get more familiar with competitors and help to find the best solution for a customer whose needs we know. Afterwards, we are going to work on our one of the last but not least tasks - News about metal 3D printing. One of the most demanding undertaking that we are trying to mostly focus on is the survey and Finland versus Sweden comparison analysis. Furthermore, during these weeks we had two significant and rich in feedback PO meetings.

"Week nine started with PO meeting and on next day we upgraded the to do -list. We didn't have special agenda for the meeting, we just needed feedback from our work to ensure we are going to right direction.  We didn't get new tasks, but we got good information for what we should do better and what we can do more. Some tasks are ready and some need more work and wider research. Direction is good and we have energy to do our best for rest of the spring in both project and another studies." says Kalle.

We are glad to present you.... out PITCHING SPEECH. Enjoy:)

Main outcome of the week 6

Hello!

For the 6. week our group was supposed to do:

- different additive manufacturing survey analysis (Kasia),

what would help to create a new survey, give some ideas

- make the first draw of the survey and contact the PO to get feedback and later start sending it to potential customers (Kalle and Trung are the responsible persons for this task),

we want to contact potential customers and hopefully further cooperate with them

- name the pros and cons of additive manufacturing (Valtter and Krishna)

- create an e-mail base of the industry companies that we will send the survey to.

Kasia, Trung and Kalle did their job very well!

Furthermore, this week we are going to upload the pitching video. There is also one indiviual task. Each person should answer the survey and give feedback about the course.

For the next week we are planning to make Finland versus Sweden additive manufacturing companies comparision (Trung and Krishna will work together), name the disadventages and adventages of EOS by making SWOT and other analysis (Kasia) and end the calculated business case\proposing customers task (Valtter and Kalle).

Taking a look back- outcome of week 3 and 4

Hello!

Let´s take a look back on tasks done during weeks 3 and 4...

In the 3. week we were supposed to do the first task - ''World wide additive manufacturing companies comparison''. Each person have found 5 companies and described them in the provided by Krishna KC template. Krishna and Trung made the principle and conclusion for this task. The main aim is to find the companies which are involved in metal 3D printing and to compare their offers and services to EOS. We believe that it will help us in naming pros and cons of EOS by comparing the final outcome and later we will take a further step to look more closely from the world to the Europe and again from the Europe to the Sweden being the most familiar country. We have also started the ''Finnish industry mapping'' assignment for the next week. Kalle and Trung did the template and Kasia and Kalle did the principle and conclusion. What was it about? Each person needed to find either additive manufacturing comapnies or potential Finnish customers for EOS. Furthermore, we made SWOT analysis. Aim of this analysis is not only to compare EOS to the competitors highlighting the differences but also to find new potential partners and of course to get to know potential customers for EOS. In one of the next steps we are going to select some of the companies and analyse them further to gain more knowledge about the cooperation advantages. For the next week we have planned to start finding potential cluster members and describe them. Kasia made the template and Valtter did the principle and conclusion. All cluster members are not necessarily AM service providers but some of them are promoting additive manufacturing solutions or providing trainings. We are going to look up few members and analyze them. We are going to suggest potential common activities and answer the question: Why EOS should cooperate with them?.

Week 5 - team outcome

Hello everyone,

In this post we will tell you about our currently tasks. During 5. week our group has finally finished task 1. Task 2 - Finnish industry mapping is still under editing. This week "Cluster potential members" - task 3 and task 4 - "Customer search" should be started. Next week we are going to create a survey, do an e-mail base of potential customers, find pros and cons of additive manufacturing and analyse other surveys. Furthermore, we are going to have a meeting with PO to get to know her opinion about the survey and our current tasks. A pitching video must be done till the end of week 6 and posted on our blog. Are you curious? We will upload it soon! :)
