Overview/Description
You work in the corporate offices of The Great Outdoors, a franchise garden center company. The company has outgrown its current office and is in the process of moving to a new building across town. To facilitate the move and to ensure that the new space is designed in a worker-friendly manner, an internal team has been created to design the initial layout of the new office. Your boss, Gilbert Tangiers, has appointed you the project manager of this team. Together with Gilbert, your job is to assign roles to the other members of the team and then to work as a productive team member during the design phase of the project. Remember: Since a team is only as strong as its weakest link, you must not only take responsibility for your own actions and growth, but also for your teammates. This simulation is based on the SkillSoft Series "Participating in Teams," and has links to the following courses: TEAM0171, TEAM0172, and TEAM0173.
