US trip by Jint

Being a part of the US trip can lighten me up inspirations. The session at Standford University with Tina Seeling, what I like most is Six-Thinking Hat.  This activity can teach me that each people have their own aspects in seeing things for example by emotion or by creativity. This can be used in the meeting where normally people always think the way they used to. By this activity Tina try to make everyone think through every aspect(6 colors) to show us that the thinking way that each of us not used to  it’s kind of difficult but we can improve such skills.    During the week at Standford I have a chance to visit the School of Design leading the tour by Tina, such place is really out of the box.  Inside the building you can change the room as you like to suit your group work.  Tina mentioned that every time we get into this place, the room is different.  A session with Bryan Weller to learn how people’s brain function and to make use of that I learn to draw mind map which is brain-like also with the reading skill the can help us a lot both in studying and in working. Being in Silicon Valley atmosphere together with meeting with Randy the author of “Getting to Plan B” can change my way of thinking that opportunities lies in everywhere you just need to start, start thinking and don’t hesitate to do it. From listening the guest speaker of DripTech show me that to be innovative, you can start from small thing, things that you’re used to.

Moving to GreenMBA where we talk a lot about sustainability.  To do the business sustainably we need to have the sustainable world.  So the environment comes to the essential part of this session.   During the session, many guest speakers come to talk about their sustainable business for example the permaculter primer, golden nectar farm. This also shows that to do a business we cannot concern only profit in term of financial profit which is money.  It shows that we also need to concern more about other stakeholders outside the company.

To be respect every person’s opinions, we have a chance to learn systematic thinking which every can express their own thoughts freely by writing in one piece of paper

The lesson learned from the US trip the thing that I can suddenly use is mindmapping and reading skill.  I also have loads of ideas back to Thailand.  Some ideas for example the design of School of Design and Six-Thinking Hat that I want to use in my family business. And also to do business sustainably, to implement this concept somehow I need to spend sometimes on my family business. But in the future, sustainability will be the key concept to run the business.
