Reflection 5 – SDI
My group members and I have incorporated features of self-directed teams in every
group eetigs e’e goe through thus far ithout realizig it. The two prominent ones we
focused on were participative design and egalitarian and humanitarian values.
We’e shoased partiipatie desig through our atios i deteriig the oerall
process and then drilling down into individual job responsibilities. For every case, we would first
input our thoughts for recommendations based on our own interpretations of the case. After
determining which recommendation to use as our end goal, we would tackle each part of the
case by having members individually claim a section as their own and work with the agreed
upon recommendation in mind. As we complete through our own sections, we would often
obtain new ideas and inspirations that add on to the recommendation and implementation
areas for enhancement. Therefore, we are responsible for the completion of our own sections
and the alignment to the overall process together. This is extremely efficient because we work
with a set direction in mind but still have the flexibility to determine the outcome of our own
parts and proofread what others have done. In the end, we integrate every piece of the case,
and a thoughtful analysis of is delivered.
As for egalitarian and humanitarian values, I believe many of us inherently possess these
alues. As I’e desried ith partiipative design, our roles are split into the different sections
of the case, and although the difficulties of each section vary, we would always offer to help
others as soon as we finish our own parts. Thus, each person would have something to work on
until the end of the group meetings and would feel an equal amount of contribution from the
tea. We ko e a deped o the apailities of our eers ad eause of that, e’e
developed trust. We are confident in other members to do their parts thoughtfully with effort,
help proofread other sections, and tie any additional findings back to the recommendation and
implementation of the case.
As a self-directed team, we achieve our goals by holding our own responsibilities as well
as looking out for each other as a team to promote equality, equity, and trust.
