2.Group Name
Our group name is "F1 CAR". We have chose this name not because we are obsessed in car racing, in fact we know nothing about car racing; but we are choosing this for an obvious reason. What we are believing about collaboration in essence is to collaborate to achieve a common goal and compete each other, and this can be well explained if we use F1 car as an analogy.
Starting to work from the engineering of the car, engineers collaborated to come up with a most advance car, when its in a car race, all components, gears, pistons and the drivers worked with each others to make sure the cars runs to the right speed, the maintenance crew to change tires and maintain the car to perform in order to win the match. The strong wills about collaboration between machine-to-machine, human-to-machine and human-to-human had bonded to each other to get the results. In deed, we thought this would explain well about the "Art of Collaborations"
3. Group Goal
We desired to learn the further drill down on collaboration between people and organization, so that both at work and in life would come up with a better results using systematic approaches.
4. Exciting Topics In Class
Resolving conflicts among groups and organization: as this would be an interesting topic to understand how to unlock conflicts which would be the major barrier on collaboration.
5. Additional Topics To learn In Class
Collaboration with difficult people: We as human in life would always encountering difficulties whether inside and outside work. In many situations, i.e. at work, we would have some "thick head" or "lazy bugs" in the team, to match with those members and see how to work with them to achieve MAX. performance would be a good additional.
6. Myth about Collaboration
Myth: Trust is the key to ensure a performing team to maintain at high performance
There are beliefs from individual/organization to think that for any group to keep their performance at high standard is to obtain trust between them and member's role nature. Given individuals had superior work knowledge, just because they work with each other well and with "Trust" does not always mean it would keep a high performance in the team. Trust & Harmony can help to bring people together but not to maintain performance.
Reversely, to keep a performing team at a high standard, one way is to have certain challenges between employees, sometimes even certain “healthy" conflicts between employee's helps to gel things together such as Designer's role for a sport car for example, designers desired to make it look sex and attractive, while the engineers challenges on viability and safety of the car in which both parts are important and should challenge each other to get a win-win. Therefore, to maintaining a high performing team is to challenge each other to exceed.
