a need to take advice from consultants(Adesi, Owusu-Manu and Murphy, 2018) . The aim of

application of different projects, it includes the brief discussion on the process of confidence
improvement and how it effects on learning in the future.
TASK
Which skills have you developed and/or enhanced as a result of the project?
There are multiple skills and qualities that I have developed as a outcome of the tasks as it
consist a plan that needs to be enhanced in terms of achieving the goals and the desired
objectives. The university is required to expand its business operations and in this process there
is a urgent requirement of the skills that needs to be developed(Derr and DeLong, 2018) . The
skills are given below:
 Critical thinking skills- This skills is defined as the ability to develop the thinking process
in more developed and wider way. I was capable to think in a critical way in order to

generate different and creative outlook in terms of strategies making and the expansion of
the organisation.
 Effective team management skills- This is the most essential skill that need to be
developed for the effective working of the organisation. The development of this skill can
be happen through working in the different projects in the different time limit. The client
has ordered and assign a limited time period to enhance the expansion of the university in
respect to attract multiple students for different courses.
What do you know now that you didn’t know at the start of the process?
In the initial process I hardly knew about the different digital technologies which proves to
major support in increment of a marketing campaign. As the in process of this project I learned
about the various technologies which can attract many customers. The use of the digital
platforms in high capability that helps in generating new customers with that it also helps in
expansion of the organisation. In this process I understands about the different programs which
provides aid to the students in respect to development in their growth and helps in increment in
their career(Jordan, 2020) . With that I was also able to learn about the importance of the social
media as a digital technology which results in more productivity and in achieving the desired
goals.
Level of confidence improved
In this whole working scenario I was appointed as the consultant at the IGT university in
terms of expanding their business. But as an individual this helps me in generating various skills
and with that most importantly it builds my confidence. In the initials I was not very much
confident about the project because of limited time framework but somehow I able to manage all
the work and took my responsibility seriously which results in completion of the work before the
deadline(Kindl, and Casais, 2019) . In the time of analysation, I get to know about the mistakes
that can be rectified in order to e4spant the organisation. But with all the problems I am
confident that I will anyhow complete the tasks with the given resources. This helps me in
building my level of confidence with that all appreciated my work. In this whole process I was
happy that I completed my work and it fills me with confidence.

Use of learning in future
As in the procedure I developed multiple skills that helps me in my future. Now I can
confidently handles the teams and build a environment that provides growth to my team. By
working in the team which helps me team building spirit. With this e have also understood how
team makers important contributions in achieving goals. The contributions of the team mates are
irreplaceable. The time when I am handling multiple teams, my skills helps me in accomplishing
the tasks (Ooi and Richardson, 2019) . This also results in making increment in my productivity.
It gives me knowledge anout the importance team in order to achieving the goals effectively to
run the management for long term success. In future if I will face any situation in context to my
work in that situation I will use my critical thinking skill. I will analyse the cause of the problem
and the examine all the available solutions in order to solve the problem.
In the working of this project I analysed that I have multiple problems in my working that
required an improvement in terms of increasing the productivity and my own self performance.
The skills that needs an improvement are discussed below:
 Stress management and work patiently- The most important skill that needs an
improvement is stress management because of this sometimes I am unable to concentrate
in my work. As due the deadline that this near which makes me stressed and I am not
capable of handling the pressure(Williams, 2019). This makes major impact on my
working capability and results in lowering my productivity. In such situation I easily
stressed out which overall affects my work and makes me disappointed.
 Computer or technical skills- As of my evaluation I am lacking in this skill and needed to
improve that . If am capable of handling things more technologically I can complete my
tasks much more early. Based on the current situation technology helps in making work
easier and faster. Because I lack in this skill, it affects on my projects as they were
delayed by that. But later I realised that having this skills generates positive results in my
working.
