3. Team Vision, Mission and Norms

Reviewed and discussed each of these.

Team Vision: Solving problems through innovative solutions and emerging technologies.

Team Mission: We are committed to realizing our vision by creating a collaborative and inclusive environment to achieve client goals and facilitate learning. The team will operate with professionalism and integrity while setting the industry standard by developing, producing, and distributing innovative solutions.

Norms: We strive to:

-Be committed, flexible, adaptable, dependable, focused, disciplined, curious, and creative.

-Openly communicate our ideas, opinions and feelings treating each other with dignity and respect.

-Share information with our team members in a timely manner.

-Challenge each other towards attaining personal and organizational excellence while learning from our differences. -Reflect on and evaluate our processes as well as our product or service.

-Presume positive motives and work towards creating an atmosphere of trust and non-defensiveness.

-Clear conflicts as they arise. When the group has made a decision and it was not consensus, the whole group supports the decision.

Kevin and Nada said it was unrealistic to assume that problems won’t arise and we will be better able to deal with them if we have guidelines in place now. They encouraged us to think more specifically about possible problems and determine if our norms would be helpful to us when we had to deal with difficulties.
