[SDV Miami]

Last week we finally handed in the SDV project and presented our findings to the Four Seasons Management Team. We have learned so much from meeting several industry professionals and studying in a different environment. What a huge opportunity!

Now we have some time to explore Miami. Days are filled with day trips to the Everglades and Key West. Also we experienced a real American afternoon with a tailgate before watching the Football game between Miami Hurricanes and Pittsburgh Panthers.

A big thank you to Mr Feigenbaum and the Management Team of Four Seasons for making this experience happen!

It has already been two weeks since we arrived in Miami! Last week, we met the Management Team of Four Seasons for the first time.
The days after, we had intensive coaching sessions with Mr Feigenbaum and spent long days working on our projects. To let all information sink in, we took half a day off and went to Wynwood, which is famous for it street arts and small markets.
On Tuesday, we went to Four Seasons again and had the privilege to ask our questions to the Human Resource Manager and the Director of Development. We gained some extremely interesting insights of the company and a sneak peak what strategy Four Seasons is aiming for!

Where do we begin to explain the last few days? They have been filled with stress, laugher, joy and excitement! On Tuesday, we had the honour of presenting our project to the management team of Four Seasons. We would like to thank the management team of Four Seasons Hotel Miami for their continious support and time over the past five weeks! :)

We would also like to thank all the hotel managers of the nearby hotels for accommodating us in their lobbies to work. Thank you for taking the time to speak with us about your experiences, your careers and for all the advice you gave us about entering this wonderful hospitality industry!

And today, we say goodbye to our beloved professor Stuart Feigenbaum! Thank you for your precious time, for continiously believing in us and for your dedication towards your 'kids'. :D You pushed us to our limits and made us discover our true potential. We go home with many good memories and life lessons. We have all grown tremendously as a group and as individuals thanks to you!

It is with a heavy heart that all of us leave Miami in the upcoming days. :(

After a challenging but highly rewarding 8 weeks, the SDV London team is delighted to have greatly impressed the management team of Four Seasons Park Lane! The journey to the final presentation was intense, but now that its all over we wish it could have lasted longer. A huge thanks to the management team, Mr. Fagel and Mr. Lim for making this life changing experience happen. We are delighted to have been given this opportunity, and for now we say goodbye to London!

Today we spent the morning at Florida International University (FIU). We had the pleasure of meeting Steve Rushmore founder of HVS who gave us a presentation on "how to succeed in life without wasting your time". After that we visited the campus and learned about the various master programs offered at FIU! Big thank you to Dean Hampton for welcoming us on campus today!

On Wednesday, we went to the Four Seasons Brickell to meet with the management team once again. We had the privilege to meet with one of the Four Seasons developer, the GM, the finance director, the resident manager, and HR managers to ask them our numerous questions. It was a full day filled with Q&A sessions with the various management members, which was extremely helpful for us.

We now have just a few days left to round off our reports and afterwards we hope to WOW the management team with our innovative ideas! :)
