Reflective feedback on the case study - individual work
Objectives
At this point in the course, your group work (for the case study) has been completed (or will be
completed soon) and with this individual exercise, you will conduct a “feedback” on the team process.
The objective of this individual exercice is to develop your critical view of innovation, and its
management, as well as a reflective look at how this group work has worked (collective dynamics and
intelligence) and has enriched you.
Be sincere…. Don’t tell us “a great story” but the reality, your understanding of what happened and
what you learned through team work and interactions. You did a good job!
Instructions
This work is individual and counts for 40% of the final grade of the course.

Point 1 (7 points)
Your work team is varied, in terms of competences and expertise of each of its members. Such diversity
contributes to collective intelligence and innovative thinking. It can also undermine any mutual
comprehension and discussion.
How have you contributed to the collective intelligence of the group?
What “tactics” have you developed to make the group understand and accept your own point of view?
What were the possible difficulties you faced during the group work? And how were they resolved (or
not)?
(max. 25 lines)
Point 2 (7 points)
A working group is often a place of conflict; and its work plan is often not quite as planned.
From a situation that you briefly describe, explain the solution found. Did these seem satisfactory to
you? Why?
(max. 25 lines)
Point 3 (6 points)
More generally, what have you learned about working in a team?
