Teamwork is much more challenging task that doing an individual project. While doing teamwork one should proceed from one step to another keeping the whole flock together, managing the interchange of ideas, views and experiences, deploying individual tasks as well as dealing with different individual behaviours. At the same time, one has to concentrate on the real motive of the project report, not to mention the least. I would like to share my first experience during a group work of the Strategic Management project at the University of Wales. There were six members in my group, belonging to various different Asian and European countries. I was really excited and keenly looking forward towards our initial meeting as I would have a chance to know personally each of my colleagues in my group. All the members of the group met in the library of Colchester Avenue, University of Wales Institute, Cardiff, at eleven in the morning to get acquainted with one another and thus feel at ease while working together. The meeting lasted for about two and a half hours. In the meeting each and every group individual was given a chance to come up with a topic for the prospected project. It was really a very nice experience listening to various creative ideas and suggestions of different individuals. There was the interchange of knowledge, views and ideas of each of the proposed topic. At first it was decided to do a project on the NHS (National Health Service) that later was abandoned as some of the colleagues did not like the idea and came up with other interesting topic for the project. Ultimately it was a unanimous decision to do the "Cardiff Pyramid Project" a scheme managed by the Health Promotion Team at Cardiff Local Health Board. Its aim is to identify those children at risk of emotional problems and to provide help. All the members of the group were briefed about the history and rational behind the "Cardiff Pyramid Project" as well as the area where we were to concentrate. By this time I personally had developed a keen liking for the project. At the same time it was quite obvious, that each and every member of the group was quite satisfied by the topic of our project. After much discussion the meeting came to an end with the decision to meet at an appropriate time and venue for our next meeting. Personally, I was happy and satisfied with our meeting and our decision. Alan Belth is a scientist from Cardiff.
