63. Student Reflections on process regular work on Innovation forced and taught to start studying harder and not only that. Many years I have not been using my analytical approach to studies and more relaxed and unofficial way of assignments helped to get prepared for the other modules’ more academic way of writing. I learned to plan the time, to write, organize group work and responsibilities among us. The collaboration in our group was reviewed and improved – everybody was doing the certain part of the given tasks for the workshops and then everything was reviewed and posted for all the class to see. No instructions by lecturers were given and I liked that – we had to find the best and most effective way to work and we did it as from the bottom we were on the top just in one week. 20
64. Student Reflections In my previous education I didn’t have real team work, only being team member in the group where the workload was shared on individual pieces, and at the end only joined in one piece. Working in this team from seven very different people, in terms of: background and expertise, language, culture, religion, race and age, was big challenge for each of us. This diversity and the difficulties in managing so big team at the beginning made an impression that this collaboration will be impossible. Milestone was the point when we employed our individual diversities as unlimited source for innovative ideas. I benefited from several aspects from the group collaboration: developing my team player qualities and creativity, sharing knowledge and experiences with people from another expertise, introducing new tools in my overall work, becoming enthusiastically interested in the new innovations and having great time during the term while enjoying the chocolates we won together. 21

66. Final reflection on our collaboration Education has spent 150 years widening access taking motivation as given Industry has spent 150 years focusing on motivation and neglecting training and education In this course combined academic/business collaboration has helped us remedy some of these issues. 23
