There is a gap between industry and students that is the companies are not approaching students in many places. This has to be filled. If the companies approach the students and provide required knowledge then it is easy for the students to get knowledge about industry, understanding requirements to survive in the industry. We will achieve this goal by May 5, 2017.
= Strategy #4: To improve the trust in student Ideas = Trust is the glue of life. It is essential for all communications and to build strong relationships. To win the trust of management, the students initially have to add weight to their assumptions. For this problem, the solution is implementing the ‘Thinker club’. == Tactic 1: Idea wall website: (Jan 5) == Creativity generates innovative ideas. Everything in this world is not perfect. Each one has its own flaw. But the greatness in generating an innovative and effective idea is to correct the flaws in it in the first stage itself. So the initial stage of thinker club comes with an idea wall. The students display their Ideas and details on the IDEA wall website for a week. The rest of the students are given a chance to rate and comment on the ideas. If the response of students is large, then the idea will automatically draw the attention and trust of management towards the students. The students also get an opportunity to identify the pros and cons of his idea and rectify the mistakes, if present. == Tactic 2: Meetups with effective student change agents: (Jan 30) == Student change agents are the great support to the budding talents. A meetup session with the change agents on campus helps them identify the resources in and out of the campus that help them to reach their goals. The dilemma in their mind can be erased with ease and they can pave a clear path of what next. == Tactic 3: Mentoring sessions with faculty: (Feb 15) == Technical support is the main phase while implementing an Idea. Technical assistance will be provided to the students from faculty mentors to overcome the hurdles of doubts. This helps students in bridging the gap between their assumptions and feasibility in real life. == Tactic4: Maker space: (Feb 28) == Trust is earned when actions meet words. When students show their ideas in action plan, they can gain trust from the management to fund their ideas. This is possible only if they prototype their project. Low-cost prototyping resources are made available for the students in this maker space. This helps them in giving a live demo of their project to the customers and helps them in winning the faith of students. == Tactic5: Customer feedback: (March 10) == No product is effective enough until it wins the hearts of customers. The feedback of customers is more important as they are the game changers of the industry. == Tactic6: Developing a market strategy: (March 25) == Market strategy, in short, can be called as a success plan. It is the major plan that should depict the perfectness of your work. A well-planned business plan is the first foundation step for future success. Some students are good at planning while some others are not. Hence students are given an opportunity to meet the business students to develop their future plans. == Tactic7: Management-Student interaction sessions: (April 5) == The process is incomplete unless the ideas win the hearts of the stakeholders of the campus. After passing through the above stages the ideas now are refined and ready to win the trust of stakeholders. This can be achieved by engaging students and stakeholders in interactive sessions on specified days (most probably the weekends). If the students are successful in proving themselves, they will surely experience an immense trust from the management in the form of funding for their projects.
