Research Fase

Well its been a busy week and we have unfortunately not had the time or energy to write on the blog.

Monday:

We startede out at the school printing out all the different quistioniers and then drove to Bjerringbro where Holmris is situated.

Arriving to Holmris we divided up into two groups. Christian and Anders took care of the interviews and Jakob went around the company taking pictures and talking to the people on the floor.
We asked both employees and manegement how they saw the company and through that trying to gain insight on how the company looks on itself.



Tuesday:



We began the day at 8.00 o´clock and between then and lunch we had 7 different meetings with various Århus companies:
C.F.Møller a/s, Hartmann, Jyske Bank, Danske Bank, Café Smagløs, Advodan, SAS Radison.
After lunch we brainstormed, discussed and took notes on the different places and at around 1600 we had a meeting with Ulrik Merrild from Katrinebjerg about the implementation of technologi in the meeting space.
This was a great meeting where we got a lot of input and new ideas.



Wedensday:

Christian started the day out with a meeting at the hospital where they had a science conference and after half an hour he came to meet up with Anders and Jakob at the newspaper Århus Stiftidende where we had been invited to observe their cultural editorial meeeting for week.
Arriving back at school around lunch and then spending the rest of the day organizing the input and figuring out what we have learned so far from the pictures and notes that we made.

Thursday:

We meet real early at 6.30 at Jakob´s place where we took his car and left for Copenhagen. We drove to the ferry and had breakfast onboard. Jakob got a nap. Anders and Christian tjecked out what different kinds of music there was on Anders´s computere. It was a very long boattrip all this said we arrived in Copenhagen - The Bella Center - at 10 past 11 and we went into the Furniture Fair.
The day went with looking on all different kinds of designs. We took a lot of pictures talked to a lot of different people from a lot of different companies about a lot of different ideas.
This was a very very great day untill we on our way home got to Fyn where we wanted to find a very unsustaineble Burger King in Odense.
This was a very very very bad decision for several reasons:
First of we descovered that Fyn dosen´t have a Burger King - It burned down several years ago.
This we found out in the center of Odense and we turned the car around to find a MCdonalds. The first we found was overcrowded and the toilets were out of order.
The secound was on the way out of Odense and here we finally got something to eat. Full and semi happy we left the Mac to go back on the highway though this was easier said than done. The highway entrance was closed due to road repairs but they forgot to put up signs about this in the city and didn´t come with other route surgestions so we found a lot of small roads on Fyn that we tested out instead.
We learned: allways have a new roadmap and only leave the highway in extrem emergencies on Fyn.

Know we will begin our weekend and start working again on Sunday morning.

Hope your all well - Christian, Anders and Jakob
