Kicking off the start of Term 2 of my MBA here at Trinity was Phase 1 of our strategic company project, a chance for us to collaborate with a major company in the Irish market, in order to stretch our strategic legs and apply some of the learnings that we’d gained from Term 1.

My company happened to run a windfarm nearby, and so invited us on-site to give our first major presentation of the program. We prepped quite extensively, drove out, and landed on-site with time to spare… we got a quick tour from our contacts, and got down to business (over coffee and sandwiches, of course!).

It went really well, I’m happy to report – Phase 1 was an industry analysis, reviewing the field that our company competes and operates within. As the phase purely focused on the industry, and not the company itself, it was mainly a research operation – no interviews, no on-site conversations, just a lot of work on google, and a ton of reviewing of financial documents.

It was good, and the views of the windmills spinning away was definitely appreciated after our time in the board room.
