📄 Example Excerpt from a Reflection Report
Key Achievement:
Successfully drafted and submitted 4 partnership concept notes, one of which (green ICT lab) received follow-up interest from Ericsson Foundation.
Challenge:
Faced delays in internal feedback loops, especially between Education and Engineering units, which slowed proposal finalization.
Suggestion:
Recommend bi-weekly cross-unit check-ins for faster technical validation of concept notes.
Lesson Learned:
Early partner engagement—even at the idea stage—leads to more tailored and impactful concept notes.
