Congratulations to the @GoodmanSchool MBA students who worked tirelessly on this experiential project for @calamuswinery. Ontario’s first augmented reality labels are now complete and the product has hit the shelves. Amazing to watch this project (and the labels!) come to life.

Putting people in a group doesn’t make them a team. A team is a collection of people with a shared identity who collaborate to achieve a common mission. Each member makes a unique contribution. Turning a group into a team starts with clarifying core values, goals, and roles.
