In our readings this week, we learned about problem solving and group decision making. Decision-making involves the process of “generating options and then choosing among them.” Decision-making and problem-solving are similar but not identical processes, and they often take place during team meetings. As your response to this topic, discuss one of the following:

A. What approach would you use with your team to make a simple decision?

B. What approach would you suggest your team use to make more complex decisions that could impact project success?

C. Discuss the extra challenges associated with group decision-making and problem-solving for a totally virtual team.

2. Realities such as power, personal preferences, and negative politics can be used by group members to derail the effectiveness of a group’s problem-solving meeting. Explain the role for one of the following in mitigating these problem-solving realities:

A) the project manager

B) the meeting agenda

C) effective meeting procedures
