This summary presents the results for a survey that was conducted to analyze the creative process and work design approach of our team. The results obtained from the respondents show their level of creativity incorporated while undertaking various team projects, and the work designing approach that they undertake. The survey revealed important results in the context of analyzing team behaviors as they undertake different projects with a shared learning and sharing perspective. There were seven respondents or members of our team, from whom we collected the responses.
The results are summarized in chronological form; relating each question's responses to the other. The first question relates to the efficacy of the team's creative process that enables our team to achieve effective and creative results. The question received mixed results as an equal number of respondents (2 each) regarded the process as being effective and ineffective respectively. This leads to an equal support or argument on the subject that the team is not very effective as 2 people still believe it needs to improve. Two of the members of the team regarded it being neutrally effective while another one shared his views, being reasonably effective.
In the course of achieving creative results, it is highly important to know how the team members perceive the creativity degree of the team's current methods of generating ideas. 6 out of 7 members were of a positive view, stating that the method is somewhat neutrally effective, effective or very effective in generating relevant and creative ideas. There was one of the respondents who thought it was not effective in achieving desired results.
