Dynamic Group Development,

A Team Building Primer

Problem: How and when to from a group may not be clear in an organization.  Additionally, whether existing groups can complete their assigned goals and thus discontinue may also be hard to determine. 

Solution: If there is a need to accomplish several related items or solve a problem within a specified time, then forming a group whose single reason is to design a method or complete tasks towards accomplishing the items or solving the problems is a good idea.  Typically the decision of who to invite to participate in the group is mad by someone who has a vested interest in the results, often referred to as the group’s sponsor.

Project Management Simplified

Problem: Many people feel they could be more successful at planning and managing projects if they could just learn how the process works.

Solution: This unit will help guide new project managers and team members through the O.P.I.E. process of simplified project management. It will help them better understand how the planning and controlling of projects and resources should be done. The workbook for this unit includes sample formats that may be used to practice the principles and skills learned, as well as for future planning and budgeting purposes.

Magic: "When you properly manage a project, you may become considered wise and skilled in this area and then be asked to manage other projects, which increase in importance."

Outline

Problem Solving Process

Problem: There are problems that are slowing down work or there are possible improvements that will reduce costs and/or improve quality, and it has become obvious practicing problem solving is necessary.  However, problem solving attempts without a process may result in an applied solution that may not solve the cause of the real problem.

Solution: To find the best possible solution to a problem, utilizing a defined step-by-step problem solving process will insure finding better solutions. Additionally, users of the process need to understand how to recognize disruptive or uncooperative behaviors or a lack of energy in problem solving participants and how to handle them.
