This module offers students an introduction to methods for effectively coordinating inter- and transdisciplinary teamwork, including input and practical exercises on basic communication strategies, moderation skills, and project management. A particular focus of the course will be on the identification and reflection of different roles in interdisciplinary teams. Based on seminar-style input sessions on available methods for structuring efforts at effectively communicating (e.g., pyramid principle), moderating (e.g., systemic questioning), and managing team processes (e.g., Scrum), students will have the opportunity to apply these methods. An important part of these practical exercises will be to explore, discuss, and reflect the pros and cons of each method in collegial case conferences.
• Communication methods and exercises (e.g., pyramid principle, topic sentences)
• Moderation approaches for team meetings, conflict and decision situations
• Project management approaches (e.g., agile versus waterfall approaches)
• Practical exercises
