We did this exercise where we had to envision our classroom. Thanks to the Visual Thinking School, I decided that I could do a series of quick-sketches to imagine what it was that could be going on in my classroom.

A business model is about the story it tells. It is not about driving the car. I am looking forward to learn the business of telling good stories “-stories that explain how enterprises work.” (Magretta 4) Stories of virtuous cycles that enable leaders decision making in a rapidly changing reality of markets and competition. Also I want to ground my passion about working for social impact with the understanding of how to tie the numbers to the story. I am now thinking that Non-profits are good narratives who's numbers are just to be told- tied.
