12 April 2010 – Today was fourth day session with Assoc Prof Dr Khairudin for Innovation module. Today lecture, Prof Dr Khairudin was continued on what we had learned from the previous day about the 5 disciplines of innovation. Today, Prof was continuing expounded to us about discipline 4 which is Innovation Teams. This means we must assess our team members, we must consider the functioning of our current team and ask ourself if the team:
- · Focuses on an important customer and market need that justifies the work of forming the team?
- · Has a compelling vision all members buy into?
- · Has a passionate champion helping to lead the way?
- · Is multidisciplinary in composition, where each person makes unique contributions?
- · Uses common methods to generate, evaluate, and implement the best ideas?
- · Uses collaborative communication to enhance contributions?
- · Shares recognition and rewards?
- · Has fun and enjoys working together?
We must trust our teams. To collaborate, teams require trust and trust is built on the Three Trust commandments:
- · Respect for others
- · Absolute integrity
- · Generosity of spirit – forgive people
Then, we continued discipline 5 which is Organizational Alignment. We must deeply understand the Exponential Economy and its impact on our customers and our enterprise. That is mean from lower economy, we do invent something new and it will improve economy in future.
For example, in those days, we used ghetto blaster as our radio and in new world, got a lot of product to give easier in our life such as I-phone, MP3, MP4, internet and so on. We must build a shared vision and strategy for the future. Then, align all elements for the enterprise to deliver the intended future such as connects with market trends and important customer needs in the external business environment. Next, we must mobilize the drivers for success such as:
- · Leaders who commit to the future and who clarify and stand for continuous value creation
- · Stakeholders who are engaged in building the new future, communicating it, and connecting with it
- · Set up performance support for overall coordination, communication, learning, access to resources
- · Design and test prototypes: look for early wins to celebrate and leverage success
After finished the lecture, we continued with mock presentation of some groups about their product. Only two groups were done this mock presentation because we do not enough time. Tomorrow is the real and final day to present for each group products.

5 April 2010 – Today was second day session with Prof. Dr. Barjoyai Bardai. Today, we had learned about basic creative method which is:
- Reverse Engineering - List all of the origin components
- Provocation - Removing the original/ most important objects
- Movement - Add new stuff to improved
After that, Prof was showed us video about new invention from India which is Pranav Mistry who person that created ‘The Sixth Sense Technology’. He was removed some components from mouse such as the ball , then he created new ideas just use that ball and add some new components to improved and get more advance technology. His technology is amazing that I never thought before. Other country was more advanced from our own country actually. Their laptop just by their fingers only but have functional similar with computer which is can capture image, do typing or work use the keyboard but their keyboard just visual image and so on. To whom that interested to know more about this new technology, please visit:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzKmGTVmqJs
I never watch this video before. He is brilliant person that have thinking like that. After finished watch the video, Prof. was asked us to discuss among group members to think something that not logic, out of our logic mind and present our product in front of the class. For example, we remove the important components from any object (PROVOCATION METHOD), and then we add new stuff to created new advance object from that (MOVEMENT METHOD). Actually, I not expected about that before. But, I know it since I learned in this module.
My group was choose to create a multipurpose jacket which is has massage (vibrator), rainy protection, and so on. Prof. was giving us some idea to us. First, we must list all the origin components in this jacket (REVERSE ENGINERING METHOD), second to remove the important parts in jacket such as the jacket itself and imaging there are skeleton (PROVOCATION METHOD ) and lastly, we add some new items to created advance objects (MOVEMENT METHOD). So, we add items like vibrator to build massager in that jackets put the waterproof components for rainy protection and so on. This idea was not logic actually but it is possible can happen in few years more. Our world is move forward in new advance technology now that can give more beneficial to human in life. I was so enjoyed for this class.
Other groups were created:
Restaurant service – eliminate servers- Second wife vacuum – give easier to housewife

What was interesting today because Prof. was brought his bread factory and cloth dryer to class. Actually, I do not know about this technology before. At 9.30 am, we started to bake bread by using this bread factory. We mixed all the ingredients together into the plate which is located inside the bread factory and set up the timer. The bread will bake for 3 hours. While waiting for that bread, Prof. had expounded to us about the innovation process.
At 1.00 pm, the bread is already to eat. The taste was so delicious, creepy; yummy even this is basic bread. We all were enjoyed to eat this bread while presenting. For the afternoon module, Prof. asked us to discuss among group members about the creative basic method that had learned yesterday and apply to this bread factory and cloth dryer. But, our group was selected to discuss for bread factory. This mean, we must list out all the components that what we see and think how to improve it. After that, all groups must present for their products as usual.
Besides that, we have doodling activities. Prof. was giving us the drawing paper, colour pencil, and crayon. We asked to draw and colour whatever that we think, we like to that drawing paper. After finished it, Prof. will select some drawings to evaluate and translate meaning of that drawings. It is interesting also because we can know what is our weakness and speciality.
Doodling activityAfter finished that, we have interesting activities before we go back which is powerful of belief. Prof. was brought 1 set of eggs, all of us must stand on those eggs without broken it. We cannot imagine doing that at first but it is success finally. Person that has lowered confident maybe will cause those eggs broken for 1 or 2 pieces.

From that, we can know what our mistakes are and of course we can improve it. For these five days, he will teach us 5 disciplines of innovation.
After finished short lecture about 5 disciplines of innovation, Prof. asked us to discuss among group members to create one product that have all characteristics of 5 disciplines just now to give beneficial to human life. He gives us 2 hours to discuss and come out with that product. Our group was decided to promote ‘odour product’ to avoid smelly.

And also, this topic will still continue until entrepreneurship module for next month. So, my group was decided to come out with organic fertilizers which are Bio-Cides Fertilizers which contain herbicides and pesticides. We come out with this product because very rare people that know about this product and it is important because related with biotechnology of course. This product will decrease costs for farmers because farmers need to buy fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides separately before.

I as presenter to convince investors to invest for our product, while Aznial as presenter to convince customer to buy our product. Actually, Prof. did not ask many questions that were related to science but he focused more on the business aspect of the product such as how much is the manufacturing cost, production cost, selling price, capital, profit & lose, market size and so on. The comments that Prof. give us:
Be more scientific – budget, market size Produce lower cost but mention also the benefits Show and bring the sample to customer Value of our product to whom We must sell the benefits of our product9 April 2010 – Today was third day session with Prof Dr Khairudin for Innovation module.

En Najmi was continued in another session in the afternoon session. He asked us to discuss with our group about statement “TIME IS MONEY”. After that, each group must present about that statement in front of the class. For the conclusion, money is use in our all life which is:
Business – If are coming late to work, our boss will angry to us and maybe can caused lower reputation like decreasing salary ; lost important potential client ; lost tender ; lost the job. So, the longer we work the money we will gain.
Education – If we are lazy to study, we will get a bad result, so maybe we will extend the semester. So, we must pay also. We will use more money to study.
Investment – If we invest money in the bank in longer time, our money will increase day by day.
Utility – The more utility we used every day either in electricity or water or telephone, the money we spent.
Our group was come out the new formula which is:
TIME = GOLD ------------------------------------ ①
GOLD = MONEY ------------------------------------②
① ~ ② TIME = MONEY
30 March 2010 – Today we had session with Miss Sarasvaty and En Najmi again. In the morning session, we have learned about 4 P’s to avoid pure terror which is:
Prepare → Practise → Pause → Pamper
PREPARE
Before we present, we must do research first such as:
Do homework → know the topic
§ → Rewrite the important topic in the paper
Know your audience → Their age , experiences, topic, give some handout
Organize → well organized sentence or voice, understood the topic
PRACTICE
We must do a lot of rehearsal to built our confidence level
PAUSE
We must know and identify when to pause because we will have tongue twist when talk continuously. It is normally in human. So, we must slow down and take a breath first.
PAMPER
We must use a monotone voice. If something goes wrong in our presentation, don’t be panic, just improvise. Try to ask questions to audience to improve our self.
After the short lecture finished, Miss Sarasvaty was give us homework to design powerful presentation task in any topic for 350 words and upload in our blog. Then, she asked to discuss among the groups members to choose any topic to present by using the 4P’s that we have learned just now. Finally, we choose in “Air Pollution” topic.

In the afternoon session, En Najmi was giving us a lot of tips to be good presenter. First of all, he asked us to discuss among group members to identify topic that want to present, identify the ingredients to put in our presentation such as:
Body (opening and close) → chorological, interesting topic, problem&solution, feature &benefits, goal, objectives.
Then, each of us must rehearse the body that we had discussed in front our group members. After that, En Najmi asked us to discuss again to put add spices on our presentation such as:

Before end of the class, En Najmi was called anybody to present in front of the class but just for body and spices. Then, he will give comments how to improve better. Thanks a lot to him. He was wonderful men that I have met.
1 April 2010 – Today we do not have many activities but just for final presentation. I was so sad because En Najmi was absent to evaluate us today. Pn Suzi, Pn Siti Nor Amira, En Hisham as our judges today. I choose topic about ‘CERAGEM – To better health’. Before that, we had divided into 2 groups which is group 1 will present in Lecture Room 9 and group 2 are still in the same class. I was included in group 1 and I present at 2.20 pm.
Actually, it will take only 7 minutes presentation but mine was skidded to 40 minutes. It is because so many of them were excited in my topic. They were unbeliever the treatment for CERAGEM are free. They were asked me a lot of questions about my product. The judges were interested also. I was so happy because can share my own experiences about this product.
After finished my presentation, En Hisham and Pn Siti Amira was give me comments. They said that I have confident, interested topic, success to attract attention people but I must improved my presentation skills. But, today was the last day for communication module. I have learned a lot of new knowledge’s and experiences here. I was so happy.
2 April 2010 – Today was first day for technical module. We had session with Prof. Dr. Barjoyai Bardai for 3 days. He was intelligent person and has many experiences. We had learned about creative thinking skill today.
First of all, Prof was give us thinking practice which is showed some graphic and asked us to identify what it is about. Prof was giving us some words to calculate how much their answer for each percentage. For example:
HARDWORK = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
KNOWLEDGE = 96%
LEADERSHIP = 89%
LOVE = 54%
LUCK = 47% *** So, what is words to success actually that can get 100% ???
**** ATTITUDE = 100%
It is our attitude towards us and work that make our life 100% success.
