Avoiding Workgroup Derailment

Your place of work is exploring a large collaborative project for the first time, although there are some reservations on the part of management for the following reasons: The collective ideas of a workgroup can be an effective approach to tackling a project and at the same time present challenges for the group and its members. There are factors to consider when forming a workgroup such as the experience and skills of the members, the group’s individual and collective goals and objectives, and the location of group members, to name a few. For this assignment, you will need to do the following research to produce a report for management that will contribute to the final decision regarding the collaborative project:

· Provide a literature review using the current research on workgroups (2 pages)

· Identify five (5) challenges that derail workgroups and a recommendation to address each challenge (4-6 pages)
