Janne Haverinen gave a lecture of what should you consider when you are building your team to your company. I.e. your employees. Also what kind of values you and your company should have. Homework at the end.
Main topic were:
Team and values
Team and responsibilities in the team
SWOT (Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats)
Responsibilities:
First assignment was to define three core values for your future company. As said these will change somewhat or be re-defined in the future but you have to start somewhere, right?
EXERCISE 1:
Core values for POST AUTOMATE:
1) Innovation
2) Security/reliability
3) Affordable
EXERCISE 2:
For the company I would need all kinds of skills that I do not possess:
I would need: marketing, business, engineering. My skills are basically in manufacturing and some on customer interface. All else I would need.
I my case I can imagine the product and specify it to a degree but for example actually develop the electronics and software, I would need a engineer for that. That would be my number one team member at the time.
I am unclear on what would my product be for and whom to market it at the moment. The coming IoT-sector would be a good market for this I assume.
The starting point of this project was on Fab Academy final project. The result is too small market need (basically my own lab) that I have expanded from there. Second evolution of modular automation is way too broad to be achieved during this Grow project.
Strengths: Good environment to develop. Great network of people and skills around me.
Weaknesses: Not enough technical knowledge in electronics/software
Opportunities: facilities and environment is a great place for finding knowledge and skills.
Threats: Someone have do this before, and I have not found it. I can not find good technical team.
