- 44. Emily Webber Disciplines =! Roles
- 45. Emily Webber Definitions of conceptual models of team-working Multidisciplinary teams Members may have separate but interrelated roles and maintain their own disciplinary boundaries. — Additive, not integrative. Interdisciplinary teams Members may blur some disciplinary boundaries but still maintain a discipline- speci fi c base. — Teams integrate closer to complete a shared goal. Transdisciplinary teams Team members share roles and goals. They share skills, allowing others to learn as well as acquire new skills. — A more blended team that shares objectives and many core skill sets as required to achieve their overall goal.
