WEEK 4 Today we looked at the subject of sustainability within our given industry/project. We focused on the different factors of sustainability, these are; Social, Environmental, Economic, Governance. In general i don't feel that within our group it was our most effective day as a team. This was down to the fact we focused our efforts solely into the idea of 'solar powered boats' as we intended to use this idea for our group portfolio. After then undertaking some more research we then discovered this was not only an existing product which in turn mean it doesn't fit into the outline for our group project. It also has to date proved unsuccessful. having spent most of our time focusing on this idea, we unfortunately had very little to present to the rest of the APPT group during class time. On the positive side however we have now managed to come to a group decision on what our final project will be and intend to have some research to present to the class next week. Although today felt a bit like a waste of time we did eventually drill down on an idea, and i also believe we showed evidence of our groups critical thinking abilities. We now have our work cut out to catch up to other groups who progressed today, having said that i believe we have the individuals within our group with the drive and know how to do so.
