Update from the FashioFolksters...

Greetings from the Fashionistas...

We have been facing some serious challenges in client communication due to language and differences in Chinese vs. Western business culture. But OH what a ride it´s been. The group has been trying to make sense out of all of this and when looking at it we have all learned some precious things about ourself as a group in a total new context.

We finally have a direction in the project and we have a task of mapping out the creative network in Shanghai. It´s a bit fluffy but fun nonetheless. We as a group have made our own goals within that project and one of it is to share this business culture experience with the rest of team 13 and our Kaospilot network. Before this new direction came into play the song on most of our minds was “should i stay or should i go” made immortal by Clash.

We have met with our new group members from Fudan University and they are all very excited about working on this with us and we love to have fresh eyes coming into the group. We have some exciting places to see and some interesting people to meet. The weekend is packed with social research as we got a tip from Ben at Confucius says, to go out to bars to meet up with the creative people where they are hanging out and networking.

The weather is mild, the spirit is up and the song for today is “I’m coming out” by the fiery Diana Ross as we are all going out for research this weekend.
