communication and team work

what is communication and team work?

Basically, communication and team work are simply means that a group of people works together for a project. The interaction among people is called communication. This is a very important skill. In a project, we need to explain our ideas well and make sure our groupmates can fully understand; otherwise, all the effort we put in for the project will be useless and there will be no team work due to the poor communication. Hence, team work is built base on good communication. Singapore government knows the importance of this communication skill. Hence, it starts to train its people since they are in secondary school. For example, in secondary school, we have some kinds of group work. Althought this group work is very easy, it gives students an idea of what the group work looks like.


why communication and team work are so important nowadays?

Firstly, the type of work we are facing now. In the past, our projects are pretty simple. One man should be able to finish the project. However, nowadays, most of our projects are giant. They are impossible to be finished by just one or two men. For example, computer games. In the past, the computer games were created by just about 100 lines of coding, whereas now, one game is about millions and millions of coding. Hence, teamwork and good communication are very important for us to suit ourselves into this new working environment.

secondly, the advance in technology makes our communication easily. In the past, without the help of the internet, we have to arrange time and location for a group meeting. It is so troublesome that people prefer to work alone. However, nowadays people can exchange their ideas easily via msn or something else. As a result, teamwork is more preferable.



From the video above, it shows that team work is able to change impossible thing to possible.

The most important thing i learnt in the last toturial is the 7Cs. In the past, i just write whatever the words come out from my mind and never take note of the 7Cs. i will try to keep these 7Cs at back of my mind when i am writing next time.
