This course has four major outcomes:
1. to develop your collaborative/facilitative/people skills;
2. to improve your ability to successfully develop and
effectively use teams in the MBA program and in your future
career;
3. to increase your skills in successfully applying information
technology to support teams; and
4. to develop permanent MBA learning teams that you will be
member of during your first year of the MBA program.
The outcomes are very interrelated. The teams provide an
opportunity for you to learn and practice facilitation skills and
use technology as well as a vehicle to enhance your learning in
MBA courses. The key to high performing teams is team leaders
and members with good facilitation skills. |
