Happy New Year
This is my first entry in 2010!!!
I handed in my second PMA yesterday. This was the PIUSS PMA. I think I have managed my time a bit better this time, but I still think I spent too much time on it. I hope I can manage my time better next time. I'll have 10 PMAs in total. So, maybe I can treat the first two as training for beginner in time management?! The next one is the FACS PMA. I think this one will be better as it is mostly based on facts, based on numbers, but not concepts. Hopefully, I won't spend too much time on it.
So far, for the last two PMA, I am so lucky that I could choose the question that I am really interested in before. For PIUSS, I chose the one about organizational learning, which I found interesting when I did my CBE module. I don't have much time to look into this topic because I chose to work on supplier relationship for my CBE PMA. In fact, I really think that the aspiration of becoming a learning organization is a good practice. When I was doing the PMA, I found one book that I really love so much. This is my first time to like a book when I am doing the academic work. I think the concept of organizational learning gives encouragement for me as it provides an ideal business environment. And the book that I like really push me to work as I am practising organizational learning. Though I still have so much to learn, I hope I can improve myself in this year and get the best from MBE.
As the new year starts, we'll start doing our project. This would be a bigger challenge on time management. I do not have a good time-table. I'll only have one module for Jan, Feb and March respectively. But I'll have 3 modules in April!!!! And the last one in May. I really hope that I can start my project as soon as possible.
