Assignment Brief and Guidance:

Team working is an important aspect of every day life in the business environment and a vital
lifelong learning skill. After completing assignment one you are now required individually to
work independently on completing a reflective blog that critically evaluates the creative
process, the group dynamics and the business pitch delivered by the team.

1. Team working
You should address questions, including, but not limited to, the following:

 How did the team function?

 How did the team undertake the assignment?

 What was the level of interaction between the team members?

 Did the team work well together or was it dysfunctional? If the latter, how was this
dysfunctionality eventually managed, if at all?

2. Project Pitch
You should address questions, including, but not limited to, the following:

 What was the quality of the final presentation?

 With hindsight what should have been undertaken differently and why?

In this reflective blog, you should discuss not only what have been done well but also your
concerns and issues. Moreover, some recommendations to solve those concerns should be
provided and justified.
