• Preventing arguments within the team and fair allocation of
tasks
4. Report planning
As a sub-group we went to the library to research topics that could be
included in our report.
Then at our planned meetings…
Next, we drafted a plan and divided up the word count between the three
of us
Training exercise planning
Deciding on what exercises to do had to be simple to set up, suitable for
groups and take around 5 to 10 minutes to complete
Team meetings
Settled upon a plastic cup maze, blind drawing challenge and a quiz.
Materials were cheap and easy to get hold of.
5. Social planning

•Booking rooms and parking
•Deliverables
•Frequent meetings and communication with the log
We set targets and dates to be completed by the group.

•Find and contact speaker
•All compulsory paperwork was completed
•We discussed ideas which we believed everyone in the
group would enjoy.

get to know each other on a more personal level.

8. Feedback
SOCIAL:
Weather wasn't suitable for golf on meal day therefore we had to reschedule the golf and go for
a meal as Ask Italian.
Experienced difficulties trying to get everyone together at a given time.
Trying to find a suitable day and time to do both activities that everyone could attend, due to
different sports and work commitments for each event. So for some of the events we had to
choose a day where everyone could attend.
REPORT:
The main challenges we faced were finding agreeable times to meet up and discuss, in full, how
far each of us had come with our part of the report.
GUEST SPEAKER:
Last minute changes affected booking of room and parking
Communication with speaker could have been more regular and consistent
Lack of notice to team for last minute changes
9. CHARITY:
Actual idea for the Event was a litter pic on the beach problems included
Forms to abide the council's conditions
Weather
Time frame
Dangerous
TRAINING EXERCISE:
Time consuming discussing how each activity could be enjoyable but also beneficial
Ensure that all materials are ready before the day of exercise so that preperation is of a
high standard.
General feedback
Planning difficult- trying to meet up, arrangements to suit everyone (of times, days etc.)
Time management with other deadlines and exams
10. What went well
We created an informative report which covered the necessary requirements.
We each took responsibility for our own roles and each group member
delivered.
Characters were able to show in a more relaxed environment which has
brought the group closer together.
Communication through whatsapp messenger worked well
Strong teamwork ethic
Knowledge and skills
as we did a detailed risk assessment we could plan for things
coming together as a team
If things didn’t go so well, changing approach to make success rather than
giving up.
11. What we’ve learnt

knowledge, 85% positive attitude”
