If you’ve got all these great ideas and you’re an entrepreneur, then understand your limits. Like what are you good at? What are you not good at? Don’t be afraid to let certain things go. I mean, to think that, you know, one thing we’ve been pretty good at if we can credit ourselves with anything is that we’ve really understood like, you know, where our talents lie and where we need to go out there and get the best talent to augment like what we’re doing. My name is Bryce Fillips, and I am the founder of EVO. If someone like me was thinking about the burden of running every aspect, every operational aspect of the company, then we wouldn’t be here. I mean, first of all, I’m not a good operator and there’s certain structures that I don’t bring to the table that you need in a good business.
>> So I think our organization is set up fairly well to accomplish the goals and strategies that we have in place. I think there’s always room for improvement. My name is Nathan Decker, I am the senior human OD commerce at EVO.
>> One area that I can think of is our creative services team that we just started in the last three or four months. Before we had [inaudible], we had a graphic designer that lived over here in one department. We had a photographer that lived in another department. And then we had some copy editors that sort of did their own thing. So we’ve tried to consolidate those creative resources into one unit to hopefully find some synergies and improve the creative output. That’s been a really tough challenge. And I think learning how to make the creative process more of a group reality has been a challenge. And I think that’s somewhere that we continually need to work on.
>> I’d say the best example would be like working on a magazine ad together. Hi, I’m Tre, and I’m a photographer here and I’m part of our creative services team. If I just pick out images and they don’t work out and the layout, it becomes a problem if the copy is super cute and friendly, but it’s like a very core focused ad. I mean it’s not going to come across as one unified ad.
>> What are the design priorities that we’re working on right now?
>> I’m pretty sure that we’re going to go with something new but extremely simple.
>> I think of Nathan a little bit as a leader of the team. He’s more of a project sponsor and like he’s more of a director, I’d say. Like he has specific numbers that he needs to hit and, you know, return on investment. And he definitely comes in to make sure that we’re on task. Like do we need any more resources, what’s going well, what’s not working well? How can we speed up this process? How can we do things better? How can we work together better and get a quicker end product for less money?
>> And so how we’ve managed that so far, we’re doing, we introduced a post mortem process for each project that we work on that talks about, you know, what happened, what went well, what didn’t go well, and how can we do it better in the future?
>> And once you make owners for each of those categories, then the next one’s just going to get better.
>> So I’m thinking about just talking about step by step what happened for the execution of the promo.
>> It really helps try to get some sort of uniform language in the team. We’re doing a better job at like, oh, maybe you need the message isn’t reading well. Or maybe you think that it’s not popping off the page enough, you know, and we can fix that just by some contrast or adding some different elements. Instead of just, well, I’m obviously the expert. Why would you even suggest something stupid? It creates a mess. It’s like middle school again. Try to get away from that. If something does happen, it’s like, hey, you want to go grab a cup of coffee and like, you know, I was kind of hurt when you said this photo sucked. You know, I put a lot of work into it, and, you know, maybe you can talk about things I can do better instead of like why it sucked. Trying to think of positive feedback instead of just negative stuff I think is the biggest thing to focus on. We are such a new team and if we had someone right away that like structured it and made it easy like I don’t think we would communicate as well together.
>> And this may come across as fairly, you know, weak, but we’re trying to encourage people to talk about their priorities. And kind of raise a hand when they feel like the projects that have been put on them are too much. So that’s, the honest is really on the manager to figure that out. But it’s also on the employee to basically raise a flag and say, look, this is a little bit too much. And that’s not met with any kind of combination or, you know, repercussion. It’s just like, actually that’s a good thing, thank you for bringing that up. Let’s do that again.
>> Right now like although Nathan’s trying to like lead us and direct us, it would be really awesome to have a creative director. It would make sense to have someone creative driven with great organizational skills that, you know, maybe not be an expert in every field but really understand how important each field is. So that they would process all the requests that come into our department and be able to be like, all right, this one’s obviously the most important. This one’s going to take more time.
>> Learning how to make the creative process more of a group reality has been a challenge. And I think that’s somewhere that we continually need to work on.
>> Yeah, so we went through and talked about upcoming promotions. Both e mail promotions and website promotions. And it talked about who needs to deliver what by when to make sure.
>> If you’re excited about a, you know, a market opportunity or a new concept or something that you think has legs, then identify that concept. You know, think about the right kind of people and the right kind of talent you need in the room to execute on a good plan. And then build that team. I mean, at the end of the day it’s going to come down to the team of people. I mean, if, there’s, I don’t know one person that brings everything to the table and can the whole show. It just doesn’t happen. You need to really understand what are you really good at? What gets you excited? What are you passionate about? And then make sure that you’re bringing in kind of the right group of people to augment kind of what you’re up to and then that’s when you’re able to really build something cool.
>> The [inaudible] sizing is kind of finicky when you get down to the youth sizing.
>> We have like a marketing kind of e-commerce department. We have a customer care team to take care of customers. We have a buying team that manages all of our inventory. We have an IT team that supports all the different needs of the business which are very diverse. And then we have a store staff that kind of meets the needs here locally. So, yeah, I mean, I think generally if you look at the buckets of, you know, the different areas of responsibility, they’re pretty well defined to achieve a lot of our objectives. But there are paying points when you get more granular and you look at certain areas. So and those are the spots we’re going to really work on improving.
>> Okay, great.
>> Saying that we’re more efficient than our competitors is a bit of speculation. I don’t know their books, I don’t see their books. But I know that we are able to beat their prices by five percent. So the fact that we’re able to do that and stay in business tells me we’re doing something right.

MTH 154: Project – Yearly Budget
Project Directions:
Construct a budget sheet that assists you in analyzing your financial status, set goals, make changes, whatever the case may be. This
project will have more meaning to you the more it reflects your real life. You can use this to create a budget for your future life based
on your plans of a future job, future housing, expenses, etc. I assure you that, should you choose to include personal values, I will be
assessing your work only on if it was accurately represented and interpreted. Please work to be realistic so you can gain from the
experience. There will never be any judgement made on my part nor any information shared out.
Your sheet should address both regular and unexpected monthly expenses, necessities and luxuries, and any debts/savings plans. Your
first sheet should create a baseline budget of your expenses (list what you spend/think you will spend each month for each category
without regard to if you balance) and then create monthly and yearly budget as well as totals by category. You should have a
minimum of 10 to 15 categories with amounts for each month as well as monthly and yearly totals. Your second sheet should be
a tracking sheet for each category that tracks your expenses for each month of one year. In sheet two enter your data for three
months and leave space for entering data for the rest of the year (these can be left blank). You should have space to enter the date and
each expense under the category and month. You should have totals by category (both month and year) as well as monthly totals and
a year to date total. Totals will currently only reflect your three months you entered but should update automatically if you add data
for the remaining months. These totals should then be compared to your planned budget in sheet one by category and month. Sheet
three will be your reflection as described below.
❖ Provide visually appealing formatting to allow for quick differentiation among the categories and months and for quick
location of individual items.
❖ Provide visually appealing and correct formatting to allow for ease of data entry without disrupting the form or function
of sheet one and two. (What if electrical budget is changed from $150 to $125 a month? What if you have to add another
gas receipt for January?)
❖ Accurately calculate your totals in each category in dollars for each month on sheet two.
❖ Accurately calculate your totals in each category in dollars and percentage of total for the year on both sheet one and
sheet two.
❖ Accurately calculate your expenses and savings as new items are added to sheet two.
❖ Create two charts on sheet one that compare expenses by month and by category.
❖ Create a chart sheet two that compares actual expenses to budget amounts.

Reflection:
Paragraph 1: what did you learn from this process of creating a sheet to model something in your world? Talk about success and struggles while doing the project?
Paragraph 2:- in what other ways in your life might you create another sheet to help you make decisions?
Paragraph 3:-Analyze your situations. What do your graph and tables tell you about your financial habits? Where do you see the need for change? What barriers were there to balancing your budget?
