RECORD
Keeping accurate and up-to-date records is vital to the success of any business & teamwork. In our collaboration course the groups must realise that records kept will be one of the most important management tools it possesses and, therefore, it should be allocated due importance. Keeping records is a lot like score keeping - if you went to a football game where no one kept the score, you would have to ask “what was the point of that whole exercise?” By keeping the score you are able to work out who is performing better and who is winning.Any record keeping system should be accurate, reliable, easy to follow, consistent as to the basis used and simple.
Efficient record keeping is vital in regards to our group project. The commitments of each person must be kept as a record.
We need to record how we are achieving our goals?
What topic each person is currently working on?
What topic each person worked on during the week,
and the progress they have made?
What are our tasks?
Record of our face to face meetings with group members.
Record of online meetings among the group members.
Record of meetings with our tutor.
Record of the overall process.
Record of our references.
The above examples are some of the most obvious in successful record keeping. This list will expand as we progress more with our group project.
It isn’t a very exiting task, however it helps and shows the overall performance of the group. Good records keeping will contribute to the final result and a successful presentation. Mostly our records constitute emails & verbal conversations we held. Notes are always being taken by someone in the group when we are having meetings with the tutor & meetings between ourselves.
Each team member is given a responsibility and a timeline in which the task needs to be completed. Records enable us to keep a summary of decisions made, the reasons for those decisions and how we came to their resolutions. In the event of any problems of misunderstandings, they are an essential source of evidence.
Here is an example of record keeping:
Medical records are at the heart of good patient care and an essential component of understanding what went wrong and why. This is a powerful example of a record. If there was no medical record things would go out of control. Records make it a lot easier to discover patients’ problems through their medical history. This can play a major role in saving lives.
