Summary of
What Was Discussed / Work Done: (Use additional page if necessary)
Monday,
Sept. 3 the team met to discuss a topic.
We first debated whether to use conflict management; however, after
serious consideration we, as a team, decided it best to follow a different
approach since this field is difficult to break down and it does not play a
huge role in today’s market. We decided
that since negotiating is a widening field in today’s market and there is much
demand for it, it would be best to concentrate on this area because it would
increase MC Consulting profits.
Wednesday,
Sept. 5 the team met at 8:00 p.m. Each
team member had at least two sources, some had more, with which to share
regarding negotiating. With this
accomplished the team was able to narrow the training field into a specific
category. The team has decided to
concentrate on women and negotiating.
This field will prove to be profitable for MC Consulting because the
training we will provide is easily adaptable to several situations. For instance, we could focus on women in
college before entering the work force, women and law, women in the work
place. However, the team still needs to
decide which categories we would like to present to Chet.
Assignments
for Future Work / Deadlines:
Monday,
Sept 3 it was agreed by the team that each individual would research the topic
of negotiating and at the meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 5 the team will share the
results and narrow the topic.
Wednesday,
Sept. 5 the team has narrowed its topic to women and negotiating. During our next meeting (Monday, Sept. 10)
we plan to decide which categories (or which fields we will be able to adapt
this to) we will focus our training on that deals with women and negotiating.
Our
Assessment of Team Work and Task Progress (Strengths and Weaknesses):
The
teams’ strengths are as follows: each
individual member works well with one another.
We each listen as one expresses their concerns, questions, and ideas. We all consider everyone’s ideas and
collectively decide which approach to take as a team. Each team member has done her assigned work for when it is due
and has met at the scheduled meeting times.
Our
weaknesses are as follows: lack of education on negotiating. It was difficult for us to narrow our topic
at first because we didn’t know much about the field of negotiating which made
the team unsure of the best approach to take.
However, with further education on our training topic the team will be
to figure out the best way to present this.
