Forming a Learning Team 1.
Set Expertise Roles
Set Informal Roles
• Facilitator• Tie-Breaker• Spokesperson• Schedule Keeper• Office Housework
Design NormsIf you don’t design, you make assumptions. Assumptions lead to errors.
Errors lead to fights.
Norms Exercise
• Think of a great team. Write down three things that made it great.
• Think of a dreadful team. Write down three things that made is horrid.
• Get in groups, and share.• Make rules for how you wish to work together

Team Check In“Quarterly seems to be a good starting point though. Every month seems too often (people get fed up with it, and the data doesn’t change fast enough to warrant it). Bi-annually seems too seldom (too much happens within that period). But, again, it varies.” – Spotify Labs
