Problem Solving Teams are temporary structures that bring together leaders and team members from across the organization to focus on solving a specific problem.

Problem Solving Teams consists of a workshop, or a series of workshops, where an existing team, such as management team or project team, finds solutions to specific work-related problems and creates an implementation plan. Problems can range from the technical to HR or leadership-related ones.
Here are seven ways to get the most from your teams:

1. Create a dedicated space for team collaboration
Every team needs a space in which to work and record ideas. A collaborative platform with a user-friendly visual layout makes coming together as a group far easier and more convenient than crowding into a stuffy meeting room.

2. Be open to different viewpoints
One of the core benefits of teamwork is the diversity of perspectives brought to the proverbial table.

3. Break the problem down into digestible portions
A major advantage of collaborating with colleagues is sharing the burden of problem-solving. Think about different elements of the challenge and split them between the team.

4. Build on each other’s ideas
Everyone in a team should have a valuable contribution to make, no matter how big or small it is. Even the tiniest morsel of an idea can inspires your colleagues and spark an illuminating discussion, setting off a chain reaction that leads your group to your goal.

5. Share encouragement and support
With a team, though, you can all encourage and support each other to maintain morale.

6. Foster peer-to-peer development and growth
Working as a team can help colleagues educate each other and promote growth, whether this is through inspiring confidence, teaching them how to perform a specific task or just changing their perspective on something.

7. Help overcome personality conflicts and divergent viewpoints
Working as a team can be a challenge, but an effective group has a far better chance of hitting targets than solo workers.
