The foundation of a good innovation process is a well-functioning team where team members work together towards a shared goal and bring their diversity into play in a safe and collaborative atmosphere. To create an effective teamwork requires effort and attention. This video lecture will introduce you to two models that describe key elements of good teamwork:
