In August, Joanne has selected “THE TEAM” Model that can be used as a tool for organization in achieving different set of goals.

For example, in order for CA to launch their Accounts SOP effectively, the leader would use the model to identify criteria (soft skill or hard skills that is important for the SOP) and then positioning each individual stance to determine the overall team position (which clearly identify their strength and weaknesses) accordingly.

Beware, as the real strength lies in the “differences” not in similarities which is needed to complement one another to make a good team.

For September, Sheila has chosen THE MAKING OF MODEL as part of her sharing for CAtizens’ learning. Whereby, the model that is inspired by The Grove consultancy depict how to work out from the past and what to take with you from the past to have the future plan out well.

To illustrate further, Sheila had used it in consequences of CA in search of new office and latest company trip where past experience is definitely essential for the company to determine a good venue for pleasant and convenient environment for all CA’tizens as well as our valuable clients. Similarly, one could also plan a company trip better by looking at the best and worst experience from the past.

Next up in October, the baton is now passed to Jackson for our next collective learning.
