We Collaborated

The purpose of working on a collaborative team is to have a set of people working on the same project to achieve a common goal.  Utilizing each person’s skills and strengths to share ideas and workload for a successful outcome. It is essential that each team can problem-solve and make decisions together.  Successful collaboration makes use of the distinct viewpoints of the team members, fosters a sense of empowerment and trust among them. Which allows new channels to open for real-time communication. Working in a collaborative environment has its advantages and disadvantages. Such as:

In this internship I was given the opportunity to be on a collaborative team. I was fortunate enough to be paired with my classmate, who was also chosen to work on the same project.  We were partnered up together to do field work for the sweepstakes.  The task was to find out what people would do if they won $10,000 and film their reactions, then sign them up for the sweepstakes. During the project it was only 2 of us physically working together which worked out well for us. We had good chemistry and like-minded ideas on where the project should go. We used our strength and skills to split up the workload in hopes of having a successful outcome. When we were finished, we met with the manager for reviews and the next steps in finalizing the project. This collaborative project is still in progress, and I look forward to the results and statistics of its success rate.
