What methods of group decision-making are you familiar with? Describe them.

A company that organizes corporate events has created several teams, each responsible for a separate aspect of the events: one for logistics, another for creative aspects, a third for customer communications, and a fourth for financial matters. Although each team is an expert in its field, organizing events has become significantly more difficult over the past few months. The problem arose because the teams cannot coordinate their actions with each other. For example, the logistics team is unaware of changes in the event program, the creative team often receives inaccurate budget data from the finance group, and the customer communications team does not receive timely information about changes in the event schedule. Company managers understand that the problem arose due to a lack of proper coordination between teams, but they do not know how to effectively establish interaction between them.

Questions:

1. What consequences could the lack of proper communication and coordination between teams have for the success of the event?
2. How would you organize interaction between teams to avoid such problems? What organizational changes or tools could help? * How can each team improve its interaction with other groups to achieve common goals?
3. Is it advisable to create a coordinator role between teams for better communication and coordination? What responsibilities should he or she have?

The main drawback of "team spirit" is the suppression of _______.
