Question: A. PURPOSE To provide an opportunity for team members to diagnose and analyze their team functioning and to work on improving team processes.
B. PROCEDURES:
Step 1. Form into the same teams, including the observers, as in Simulation 10.1. Work individually. Using Simulation 10.1 as a source of information, complete the Team Development Profile and the Decision Critique Form.
Step 2. Working with your team, collect data on team roles from Step 1 by summarizing and categorizing the data using a blackboard or newsprint. Time suggested for Steps 1 and 2: 30 minutes.
Step 3. Team members analyze and discuss team functioning. Members may practice process practitioner interventions (see Suggested Process Interventions after Step 5). The analysis may include the following questions:
1. How good was our problem-solving capability?
2. How was our decision-making done?
3. How well did we utilize team resources?
4. How did member behavior influence effectiveness?
