Abstract Structure for Importance of Teamwork.

I understand this topic is somewhat controversial when trying to write a research report in regards to the building industry. It is an interesting challenge and am excited to formulate a proper format that is an analysis report, while at the same time relaying all the important details I believe emulate the perfect team and in turn increased productivity and results.

The format I have in mind at the current moment is, to write a mixture between a report and a book. I have formatted my blog in a way similar to the report outlining certain articles such as "the importance of teamwork", "trust", and "Communication". This would include a structure as follows.

Introduction displaying the importance of teamwork, including (at this moment) an analysis on productivity within the company I am working with throughout the summer. Zirnhelt Timber Frames developed a program that tracks exactly how many man hours went into any given activity that you log in your time book. If I can use this data and combine it with my experience with the company to prove the efficiency of teamwork I believe that is a proper place to start.

2. Belief
I would like to format certain beliefs I have, that increase the results of a team. This will outline and tie together the next four chapters.

3. Trust
I believe the concept of trust is an important part of teamwork as I have displayed through the blog most often using Steve Jobs to exemplify this.

4. Communication
Communication is teamwork. Without communication you may as well be working alone.

5.Goals
A group of people working towards a common goal is instrumental to teamwork and success.

6. Uncertain
I have a few topics I believe are important including, attention to results, adversity to conflict, and developing the right team, steps to putting together a proper structure including interviewing and chemistry within a team.

7. Research Analysis
I would like to finish with an analysis on a Large scale team performance. As of right now I have a contact PM with Conoco Phillips who says their best PM in the company has two psychologists  working at his side throughout his projects. I believe his success within the company can be attributed to the psychologists creating an undeniable team environment that drives success.

Conclusion!




I would appreciate feedback on this. Point out issues you see, or improvements. If you can take the time to read any of my posts it would be much appreciated and help you better understand what some of these  information that these "chapters" will be included.
Looking at this and many other issues from numerous people's perspectives will help me produce a better paper and is an example of the effectiveness of teamwork!

Thanks Troops!

  1. John, it looks like you have a clear application for this research and I like the headings you have come up with. I would try not to add to many more headings as you don't want the topic to get too broad. I think applying what you have learned about team work from coaching and your research to the small company you will be working at is sufficient depth. Trying to apply it to another larger company may be too much for the time that you have, but could be done later if you are still interested.
