One + One = 3

Here is a popular saying that "two heads are better than one", which made me realize that it is vital to embrace each other in order to achieve a common goal whether it is in our personal or professional lives, as we can do little alone. The great thing about working together is that we will  always have others on  our side.
                             .

Using my personal experience of working as a team under a Business Innovation Programme, Teamwork was part of the Skills for Success module. Although, I have had many experiences in various capacity as a team player having to work with people with different cultural backgrounds, this programme offered a whole new experience. At the start of the programme, we were all assigned group and each team was required to develop a business idea, and to pitched this to a panel called Dragon's Den.

As a team we adopted the Belbin's model of team building where each member was assigned with a responsibility based on individual experiences and capabilities.

What I learnt during the teamwork was the synergy that we were able to accomplish, despite the diverse views, experiences and multicultural composition of the team members. I had a brilliant experience and a great time contributing to the successful completion of the project and learning from the group work.
