CI-114 Creating the Dream Team
Every successful venture today is based on effective teamwork. Unlike a typical lecture format, Creating the Dream Team is a course that utilizes experiential group learning to provide students with pivotal team-building skills. These essential skills are vital for everyone's future success in the business world. As team players, students are challenged to think creatively. A collaborative problem-solving process is used to analyze "real life" business situations. Teamwork involves research, data collection and information analysis to develop creative solutions to typical business problems. Teams will utilize multi-media tools to present their innovative ideas. Classmates will provide peer feedback and review. Through iterations, all students will assume roles as project leaders, keynote speakers and collaborators on a series of Team Challenges. Upon successful completion of this course, all students will have formed working "dream teams". As reinforcement and final evaluation, Dream Teams are required to create a multi-media Capstone Event as a course performance measure. This capstone presentation will "showcase" all of their newly acquired "dream" team-player skills.
