When to use Groups for Problem solving
Are individuals' tasks interdependent?
A group is more than a collection of individuals working side by side.
Is there more than one decision or solution?
Groups are best suited to tackling problems that have no single, straightforward answer.
Is the job beyond the Capacity of One Person?
For the large project, it is unrealistic and unfair to expect one or two people to do all this work.
Is there potential for disagreement?
Tackling a problem as a group is essential if you need the support if everyone involved.

Group problem-solving Strategies in problem solving
Group Discussion Formats
Parliamentary Procedure
: Problem-sovling meetings can follow a variety of formats. A session that uses parliamentary procedure observes specific rules about how topics may be discussed and decisions made.
Panel Discussion
: Another common problem-solving formats is the panel discussion, in which the participants discuss the topic informally much as they would in an ordinary conversation.
Focus Group
: Sponsoring organizations often use focus groups to learn how potential users or the public at large regards a new product or idea.
Symposium
: In a symposium the participants divide the topic in a manner that allows each member to deliver in-depth information without interruption.
Problem Census
: When some members are more vocal than others, problem cnesus can help equalize participation. Members use a separate card to list each of their ideas.
Forum
:A forum allows nonmembers to add their opinions to the group's deliberations before the group makes a decision.
Breakout Group
:When the number members is too large for effective discussion, breakout groups can be used to maximize effective participation.
Dialogue
: Sometimes that best way to tackle a problem is stop trying to find a solution and listen. A process in which people let go of the notion that their ideas are more correct or superior to others' and instead seek to understand an issue from many different perspectives.
Solving problems in Virtual Groups
One advantage of virtual teamwork is autonomy. The lack of meetings doesn't mean communication is limited. Where problem solving is concerned, virtual interaction presents some unique challenges as well as benefits.
What bother me is that What if when an individual's work efficiency is greater than the team's?
I want to figure out that Teamwork is always greater than an individual.
What make me surprised is that the way to solve problems as a team.
