An Essential Collaboration Tool in Your Team Toolbox – Ground Rules


Jan 10th, 2014 11:30-1:10

LOCATION CHANGE: University of Phoenix 14002 E 21st Street, Suite 1000, Tulsa, OK 74134 Room 211


 

This session will use concepts from Group Genius: The Creative Power of Collaboration by Keith Sawyer to demonstrate the benefits of establishing and using ground rules in developing and nurturing collaborative teams. It will highlight team ground rules that exist in inclusive work environments that are relatively egalitarian, encourage openness, stimulate personal development, set high performance standards, and make everyone feel valued. During the session, participants will be engaged in multiple collaborative learning activities. Participants will leave the session with tools they can use immediately to improve the effectiveness of their workplace teams. The tools will include why and how to use an inclusive approach to determining the ground rules for effective teams.
