The Playbook Meeting

The purpose of the Playbook meeting on Friday 7.10.2016 was to in a way get updated on our progress of the project and how our Playbook has been updated. We got our whole team, our facilitator Ohad and Saara from Pirkanmaan Jätehuolto Oy to attend the meeting which was a great thing so that we got everybody’s opinions and ideas on the board! We didn’t go through the playbook by just browsing it, instead Ohad gave us a large paper which had kind of the headlines of the playbook written on it.

Idea was to use the paper as a tool where we added our ideas with post-it notes. First we added our end users to the segment section on the paper. Our end users are mostly SMEs and private people but we also opened what kind of SMEs and private people (e.g. factories, machine industry companies, students, artists and so on). Keeping our end users in mind we were supposed to reflect ideas to what kind of needs our end user has considering their waste management to the needs section. After we got all the needs we were supposed to think about what is our approach to the need and how it benefits the end user. In addition we also added our competition and the advantage of our idea over the competition to the paper.

After this every section had something in it except the resources section. Now we had to find out what kind of resources we needed to execute our idea. We got a bunch of resources we need on the paper but I think our team felt confident about gathering all the needed resources. For me this was the first time I realized that we have the abilities to make something concrete and functional out of this project!

Now the paper was full of ideas and we took the picture above. Before the meeting was over we had a little chat with the Demola Network Campaign Manager Janne Eskola about new cooperation of Demola and the city of Tampere. Basically he just informed us that Demola will give info to the city about what kind of projects are going on at Demola and in return all the Demola teams can ask for info or help if they find that the city of Tampere has something that they could offer the teams.
