OLET5706: Collaboration in complex environments
2022 unit information
In this unit you will learn and practice techniques for understanding research problems or responding to innovation challenges in complex team-based environments. This will further develop your skills of inquiry, feedback and agency, recognising the collective importance of personal background, experience and different ways of knowing. This knowledge and practice is highly appreciated across disciplines and sectors where graduates are expected to be able to successfully collaborate effectively in highly diverse groups. You will learn about approaches for recognizing different dimensions of diversity and how to leverage their value in the context of group performance. At the same time, you will learn how to moderate and understand your own contribution to maximise the performance of the group. To demonstrate your understanding, and test the interrelationship of communication and collaboration, the unit challenges you in a group environment to articulate research problems or innovation challenges for a real-world problem.
