There are several techniques for working with small
teams. The teams discuss and make decisions that express the speakers or a
coordinator. Among the main ones are as follows:
Discussion Group. The objective of this
technique is to expand knowledge, develop analytical skills of listening,
respect, etc. Is that a small group discuss freely about
a topic, usually led by a coordinator. Usually tries to find solutions to a
problem, make a decision, and so on.
Once established standards and objectives, the
coordinator made the subject accurately. Start the free and informal discussion
among team members. The coordinator can use a short interval to recap what was
discussed, highlighting the goals achieved, or insist on some aspect treated
superficially. Throughout the process to worry about getting everyone to
participate in the discussion and control the weather. After the discussion, and
after a brief summary of the conclusions he has arrived (made by the coordinator
or a secretary), the decision is made.
Case method. This is so analytical study and
thorough case taking into account all relevant details to draw conclusions. It
aims to develop analytical skills and problem solving from a global perspective,
taking into account all available information.
When a study and resolution of cases, is very
important, as a first step, identify the relevant facts of the case, that are
usually present in the information provided. Next, identify the problems
generated by these events. The problems are not always obvious, and must be
detected in all the circumstances described in the case. Having identified the
problems may be addressed to find solutions, examining the feasibility of each.
Brainstorm. The group seeks to create an
informal atmosphere, highly permissive, without criticism or tension,
stimulating imaginative development so that they can produce new ideas.
In an atmosphere of relaxation and harmony, through
each and every one of the components are exposed solutions of all kinds (though
sometimes seem irrational), the proposed issue or problem. This technique is
highly creative.
The team should know the subject beforehand, to
learn and think about it. The coordinator defines the topic and explains the
technique. It should insist that people say everything that comes to mind them,
though they think is not relevant. The contributions "funny" unlock the group,
create a better climate and may suggest proposals more "serious". Should appoint
a secretary who takes note of all contributions.
In a first phase of development team members are
contributing ideas they occur, expressed in short sentences. It allows the
association of ideas, contributions craziest ideas that can inspire, but for
them would not have occurred. It is important quantity, the greater the number
of ideas, the more likely it is to reach better solutions. Moreover, apart from
giving his own ideas on the team may suggest that the ideas of others to be
improved or combine several ideas into one.
In a second phase of analysis, we study the
feasibility of the solutions, choose the best, are specified and determined that
people will carry them out, by what means, etc.. |
