Temporary/Task Teams

• When work is urgent temporary teams may be
  established, e.g. the London Bombings 2005 over
  10,000 police were involved.
• The fulfilment of tasks is more important than
  team spirit.

Key Benefits of a Team

• Better solutions - Collective Brain Power often
  out matches that of a single person.
• Increased knowledge Teams offer new connections
  that can lead to new ideas.

19
Team Synergy is achieved when people work
together to create a better solution than either
could alone. Its not your way-- or my way--but
a better way.
Sean Covey

Types of teamwork activities

• Paper-based exercises
• Activity based
• Work related team activity

Paper-based exercises

• Planning for something that will be practiced or
  carried out at a later date e.g. disaster,
  logistics (transport and supply), could be
  planning an expedition.
• Planning an Orienteering lesson, planning to
  present a podcast, to present a press conference
  etc.

Activity Based

• e.g. physical training activities, team-building
  exercises, active problem solving, realistic
  simulations, military/emergency exercises
• use activities done on Army Week

Work Related Team Activity

• e.g. achieving work objectives e.g. cutting
  someone out of a car at an RTC, planning and
  achieving a project.

Guidance

• Use the Harvard Referencing system.
• If you include a direct quote it must be
  identified using quotation marks.
• Ensure you read the Guide to using the Harvard
  referencing system (located in your handbook and
  on the SSA).
• The submission of plagiarised work will lead to
  failure of the merit and disciplinary action.

25
Layout

• Submit with relevant front sheets.
• Include title page with the full criteria
• Word process with 1.5 line space
• 1000-1500 words (4-5 pages)
• Proof read and spell check
• Relevant pictures/images may be used but do not
  count towards the page total
• Include a list of references
