"Very well done! I admire the style in which the session was conducted and the manner certainly catalyzed active participation and discussions.
Initially, it seemed to be just a series of enlightening discourses on increasingly sophisticated customer needs, the volatility of market vicissitudes, and the importance of cohesive teamwork.
The real eye opener was that all participants were required to apply in a real life situation; within a specific time frame; all relevant business principles. The performance parameters and results were measured and shared with the entire group.
The experience of actually applying what is preached is exciting and invaluable. The most valuable aspects of this session were the various tools that can be applied to assess relevant factors before a plan is put into action."

More Pleased Participants
At first I was reluctant to take the programme since I thought it was not related to my daily responsibilities/job. However, Visexecutaries was excellent and offered much more than marketing skills. I will suggest to my management to make this programme compulsory for all operations, marketing and business development staff.

Rules of The Apprentice
Official Web Site for The Apprentice
|
NBC's reality show, The Apprentice, gives 16 contestants the chance to participate in what has been dubbed "the longest job interview in the world". It is a chance to win the dream job of a lifetime. "The Apprentice" gets to work for Donald Trump for a year and earn a salary of $250,000. The Apprentice is produced by Mark Burnett who produced Survivor. On The Apprentice, the contestants are divided into two teams (Corporations) and assigned a series of tasks. Tasks range from running a lemonade stand or a stall at the market to creating a commercial for a major automobile company or organizing a polo event for charity. We have also had executive teams create a special marketing campaign to draw traffic to one of their retail stores and run the store for a day. For each task, there is a new project leader.
|
|
|
|
|
Throughout the competition, by performing well on each task, contestants attempt to prove to Mr. Trump that they should be hired as his apprentice. At the end of each task, the corporation that earns the most money, gets a valuable prize such as dinner at the Donald Trump Penthouse, a helicopter ride over Manhattan or golf with "the Donald". The losing team goes to the boardroom and someone from that team is fired. In each and every episode, the dynamics of team leadership, teamwork and corporate politics get played out in living colour.
