In this session, we learned about Teaming (the verb). No, not a regular work team\u2026 so, what is teaming?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Teaming is a dynamic activity. It is focused and time limited. It is action oriented. There is a single goal defined. Teams last about 6 months (generally) and they split off and new teams are created. Teams should be empowered to make decisions, or at least make recommendations to a decision-making body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second half of the session was about communication skills. Team communications have set and managed expectations: style, frequency, methods. They are also directed UP (steering committee, sponsor, executives), OUT (stakeholders, community), DOWN (team members). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
