It also reminds me of [[Name Claim Aim - Leading with Good Judgment]] as a model for creating a shared [[Mental Model]]. It's kind of like how people come together to learn in the [[social-cognitive learning theory]], teams need to produce something by going in the same direction, they need to be able to express [[Creating]] but also address [[Deciding]]. When it is an ad hoc team they need to do it quickly. [[trust is the currency of relationships]] and this is a relational coordination activity. Ad hoc teams is a term given to a team that does not function together on a regular basis but needs to come together to achieve something quickly. Results of a hackathon to address ad hoc teaming: Integrating across the points of intersection among the three hackathon proposals yields the clear insight that multi-pronged solutions for emergency-oriented teamwork are needed. **Any single tool or practice will have limited effectiveness if a healthcare organization’s culture and policies do not communicate strong norms about the integral role of teamwork process to the quality of care.** Teamwork training will likewise be limited without sophisticated technologies -- in the form of procedures as well as software – to facilitate daily communication and coordination practices. Our hackathon on the challenges facing teams in critical care medicine with participation from teamwork experts in multiple disciplines highlights the scale of collaboration and effort necessary to tackle the many complexities in healthcare that significantly impact outcomes for providers, patients, and health organizations. As perhaps the first hackathon to foreground teamwork, our event also points to a promising new avenue of applied research on teamwork innovation. This matters because ad hoc teams are a key to modern workplaces and organizations [[dealing with complexity]]. ### What would the opposite argument be? Be yourself, speak up, and contribute to make teams work as well as possible. ## Sources: Cooper, S., & Wakelam, A. (1999).
