Meet and Brainstorm Ideas – Language, Restaurants & Revenue Stream

We tried out a new event format where participants could discuss a particular problem, bounce ideas and brainstorm solutions together. The purpose is to crowd-source solutions and possibly come up with interesting projects and ventures that we can collaborate on.

Pitch ‘n’ Bounce IDEAS #1 was organized on 21st June 2014 and hosted by Wadud Mughal. About 13 of us gathered in the new Starbucks outlet in Bangsar South. We started to deliberate on 3 issues.

The first issue was how to hack the learning curve so that one could learn to speak a new language in 3 months. The second issue was how to form alliance among restaurants and F&B businesses so that members help and promote one another.

The last but important issue to discuss is how to build revenue stream for Pitch ‘n’ Win. Some ideas had been received before this meeting. But the issue was brought up again in order to obtain more comments as suggested by one member.

The first 2 issues were brought up by our found Ricky Soo. He posted the problems on social media and got a lot of comments. He briefed the group on the issues and welcomed ideas and comments from the group. He also gave background information on Pitch ‘n’ Win so that the group could discuss the issue on revenue stream.

Anyone could speak up in the group, and many did voice out their opinions. Some ideas bounced from one person to another. All relevant suggestions were noted down.

To encourage participation and solutions, one best contributing member was selected among all participants. The group chose Chew How Hoon for her sharing and comments raised in the discussion.

However, due to lack of time, we couldn’t go deep into discussing any one issue. As the problems presented were diverse, not all were keen or able enough to speak up on all three. We learned a lesson and should focus on one single issue next time.
