On Monday, July 25th it was my last lecture for my REC 348 class with Professor Brayham. In our class my team presented our research project recommendations for the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery. Tony Chau, Craig Dumart, and I came up with two long term plans to attract new populations to the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery.
Our first idea was to implement an arts night which would occur bi-weekly with attractions that are appropriate for all demographic groups. For example, restaurant owners and musicians could promote both their food and music outside the gallery.
The second plan was to create a viral marketing campaign, which would feature pieces of clay that come together to construct vases. A piece of clay would be sent to local residents in the Waterloo Region by mail. Residents will be able to take their piece of clay they received from the mail and attempt to reconstruct a vase with their received piece. If the piece fits, the resident would receive the vase as a prize.
I really enjoyed working with my two group members and coming up with different ideas to attract people back to the gallery.

June 13th Lecture
Today in class, we went over our blog, e-portfolio, and research project assignments.
We also talked about "Mission vs Vision" principles.
Mission
-Talks about the present
-List broad goals upon which the organization is formed
Vision:
-Talks about the future
-Where does the organization want to be
In most projects that we take on, planning is a very important function of management. Because, I am in the planning program at the University of Waterloo, I understand what needs to be done in order to accomplish something. When you plan to take on a project, goals and steps have to be set up early in advance to make sure you are on topic. If you are in a group with other members, it is important to set up a time table for completion of tasks to make sure everyone stays on track.
Our class also analyzed the different types of plans:
-short, intermediate and long-range plans
-strategic & operational plans
-single-use and standing-use plans
-contingency & crisis planning
