The goal of this essay is to give you an opportunity to reflect on the learnings from the course to form a different perspective on what is happening out there. I also hope that you will learn from each other by reading essays by your peers and briefly commenting on them. Here are a few ideas (choose only ONE): Describe, in detail, how one insight/concept from this course could have helped you in your current/previous job, or can help you in the future. Choose a company that you are familiar with, identify a problem (bad quality, late delivery, low productivity) and reflect on how you could improve their operations. Visit a business (Grace Street Coffee Shop, Sweetgreen, Wisey's, Tombs, Starbucks)... Identify areas of underperformance (quality of service, costs, delays...) and propose ways to make improvements... Pick a process that affects you personally. First, describe the "as is" process and point out problems or weaknesses in that process, capturing the situation as completely, but as succinctly as you can. Then describe what you personally see as a solution to the problem or weakness noted earlier. Choose a new technology (Blockchain, 3D Printing, Drones, Machine Learning, IoT...) and provide a well-thought report
