The product of this competence was supposed to be the AR Wywnood tour, but like you can read in my own reflection at the bottom of the page, this project was canceled midway. But since I can show I physical product I looked into the study guide for the full definition of the competence, it says: “manage a project, business section, business processes or a business”. So I looked at the list of performance indicators and I will run down each bullet point to see if I indeed “completed” the competence
• Handling a simple conflict situation
in a project group.
When I began the internship there was another employee, it was basically Michelle’s assistant but he would manage many of the events. So I basically always worked together with him on many of projects like the gay pride activations, Snowbirds & Flamingoes. Especially during the gay pride activation we had a couple of arguments, he didn’t sign up for the parade in time and he was gone on a vacation for a couple of days. With a few days left I had to arrange everything and come up with another activation.
• Dealing with unexpected events,
that disrupt processes in the project group
and respond adequately with help from
third parties.
In the case of the Earth Day event, the co-worker had without a notice called of the farmers market because my initial idea of a sort of digital photo booth that would let you see the change done by car smog en co2, wasn’t going to fit. I then had to contact the hotel where the farmers market was held, to arrange with them that we still could be part of their market. I also had to quickly act with Citi Bike to reserve bikes because we double booked the date and said yes to both the farmers market in the hotel as the bbq at the bar
• Providing leadership in a result-oriented way,
under supervision or supervision, to one
simple business unit or project.
Especially when the other co-worker left the company, I was managing the whole Citi Bike account by myself. I was doing the Instagram post, replying to comments, coming up with ideas for the Instagram stories, shoot the stories, managing the customer service, coming up with new activations and promo, having contact with CB to arrange things and ask for permission for various promo’s or ideas.
• Formulating long-term goals and these
establish in consultation within the project group
and timely testing interim for feasibility.
There were barely possibilities to set up long-term goals because almost everything we did was product based, but there was one client this was possible and this was Citi Bike Miami. And if you look at the Instagram rebranding and switch in how we wanted ourselves to be seen, this definitely had some long-term goals to achieve. Think of goals for engagement levels or follower count.
• Estimate by value of the contribution of
an employee or member of project group and
give feedback to the project group.
• Collaboration (multidisciplinary) in one
professional environment to more complex task
with limited guidance.
Within in the company, which is seen as a professional environment, I worked most of the time on sometimes very complex tasks like, setting up a budget or having contact with the clients without any guidance from Sean or Michelle
• Plans together with others of the
work logically, structured and
achievable after a given goal, deadline
and quality level.
SMC is a deadline based company because we work with many clients at ones a lot of products have strict deadlines. Some of the work I’ve made had a turn over time of 1 day from scratch to finished product. That kind of projects need to let you have your work together and work efficiently and structured, otherwise, you are going to break under pressure
• Steering and regulating your own
development in terms of learning,
result-oriented work, initiative and
independent action, flexibility;
I think that with my personal goals I’ve set up and that I all hit, I showed that I can be consisted and take action to get things done. Also with the failed AR Mural tour project, I was never not motivated to proceed and make it work, the only reason I canceled was that of (cost)efficiency
