Yo Ivan!

I've seen your blog entry. Perhaps it's better for everyone to expand on their own topics? I feel it's rather too brief for discussions in one single blog entry. It'll be easier to leave comments specific to each topic too. =)

Maybe you'll want to ask everyone to post their ideas themselves. Ask them to flesh out their ideas, so that we can all add to it.

It's quite an urgent task actually. Would be glad if you can get them to get it done quickly. =) We'll need to comment on each other's ideas as soon as possible too. We only have 10 days to thresh all our ideas, to integrate, to synergise.

Taking note of everyone's input, on Friday we will give a presentation on whatever topics we still feel are possible. We'll probably have eliminated half of them by then. On Friday, we'll take all ideas into account and choose the one which is the most feasible.

Cheers,
Jinrui

Jinrui here..

Just a note:

Unique Selling Point...
It is always with respect to another product/competitor, and why itstands out from the rest. =)

Your points are still all value-prositions... It doesn't show why it is a good business yet.

For example, the judges would need to know what's the difference between your service company and one estalbished one, like Service Quality (SQ) Centre Pte Ltd (founded by Singapore Airlines & SPRING Singapore in 1990)? Or what existing wheelchair companies there are etc. =) I like to think this way 'cos if we can do something they cannot, then our plan is a very solid one.

Perhaps if we think along these lines, we can expand our ideas to even more creative and working ones. =) Like flying wheelchairs? Haha..
