Hello everyone!
I hope all of your capstone projects are going well so far! I am working with the YPO group. YPO (Young Presidents’ Organization) is a society for young, chief executives to network, enhance their business, and gain experiences. They have over 27,000 members and are in more than 130 countries. They have exclusive membership criteria and over 450 chapters. We will be focusing on the Cincinnati chapter as we proceed with our assignment.
Our project had a somewhat unique approach to the beginning of the semester compared to all of the other groups. We have a larger number of people assigned to this project and our kick off meeting with our company contact was the very first day of class! Our task is to conduct interviews of YPO members in Cincinnati in order to see how YPO can improve their member engagement. With having a larger group, we had to first establish some guidelines of who was going to be our liaison to our contact so that we can stay organized, as well as what each group member’s strengths and weaknesses are. Our contact has provided us with guidelines and goals for the foundations of our project and is excited to see what we come up with. Currently, we are somewhat at a standstill until we receive the list of member contact names in order for us to proceed with the interviews. Our team is excited to begin the interviewing process and know that we are going to get some great content for YPO!
Looking further into the semester, I am excited to see where this project takes us and what we will find. I do not doubt that at the end of this I will have gained all kinds of knowledge on different subjects and aspects. I know our group will do a great job and am interested to see what the future holds. I hope everyone else is off to such a great start!
