Organisation of the module
We strongly recommend all of you to be present at every scheduled moment. There are
- city meetings per city, with your city coach, as well as
- 'meet your team' sessions with your team only. These 'meet your team' time-slots are scheduled so that all members of the teams can expect everybody be present. If not, take action and contact your coach.
- week evaluations with your city
Remember that you are entrepreneurs during all of the weeks. So keep your social media, website, and activities alive. So apart from your assignments, you can always work on these kind of elements.
So what to do first? Take it step by step.

It is essential that all of the team members are present at all of the meetings. Just like when you have a real job: it has consequences if you just not show-up.
During all of the week-weekend: a company doesn't close at certain hours: keep the communication on your hotel 'alive'
* Step 1: Kick-off
Visit the central kick-off online with all the other management teams: you will get instructions from the owners Christina Bergman or CEO Jill Jandal. And there will be general information on the hospitality industry.
You will receive information regarding your Team and the competition:

- your competition is the 31st competition in Breda, BUas the Netherlands so 31NL.
- your hotel, in this example, is located in the fictitious city of Amstelburg, therefor the letter A. The letter B stands for the city of Budano etc. All cities are located in the Netherlands.
- your hotel in this example is hotel number 01 out of approx. ten hotels in your city, which are your competitors.
- you will get a (printed out) secret link will be handed-out at the first city meeting with your coach. With this link, you'll have access to your hotels' so-called Team file: the most important file. This is the document in which you present your assignments, he plans you have with your hotel. And you'll find your results in here, each round.
The secret link will look like ''''https://goo.gl/L4cABC'''' and is case sensitive.
Keep this link private and secret! Inside this Team file (for your eyes only), you will work on:
- all of your assignments
An you will find per round:

* Step 2: Meet with your team members
Plan meetings with your team to make preparations and plans for who is going to do what. Managing a hotel is having your team and hotel well organised. So try to work together on a professional basis, but do keep everybody to his/her tasks. If a person doesn't show up or doesn't perform as required act immediately! You need to set-up a team-contract in your Team file.

* Step 4: Study Introduction Game play

Then have a look at your own Team File using the secret link you received: this is your private file where you will fill out your decisions.
All team members can log in using this link: multiple users at the same time is no problem. Your team will work on this document and also find results in here after each year. After reading, discuss your strategic plans with regard to the hotel and come to a conclusion. Fill out all elements in the Preparation tab of your Team File: so make a contract with your team, decide on a new name, a logo, a slogan. And, make your strategic choices.
