D1 - Evaluate the teams overall effectiveness in meeting its objectives, making
recommendations for improvement.
Introduction
In this task I am going to evaluate all the main points of what went well in our team overall,
and I will also be making any suggestions that will be justified of what could have been
improved upon. I will explain and talk about the different roles and responsibilities we had in
out team, whilst also linking back to the Belbin’s theory. Explaining each different type of
leadership approach and how they were effectively implemented within the team and how it
solved any problems we faced together. I will then conclude by how the team’s performance
was measured and giving feedback to the team. In addition, I will be suggesting how could
we can improve for the future if we had to do a similar task again. My team member are
Michael and Kaesha.
The idea that me, Michael and Kaesha came up with is the a van that drives around place to
place that sells ice cream, donuts, pancakes, muffins and more. The uniqueness of this idea
is different to other businesses who also sells the same products, for example Creams, they
are stationary, but our idea involves us being on the move, so we will drive to the customers
instead of customers coming to us. We came up with this idea because we wanted to start a
business that relates to today’s society in the food industry, as a lot of people loves food,
especially desserts. We as a group understood that most children like all types of ice creams
and the more older people would enjoy a baked muffins and donuts with a mixture of their
own liking. We planned that we will know where the best place to stop by is by driving to
different locations in where most of our customers will buy the products that we offer. Our
aims and objectives is to make as much sales as possible, and for each week we would
review on which location attracted the most amount of customers for us to make that our
best location to make sales.
In our team we were given a choice of either one of us were the leader, marketing or finance
role. In our group Michael was elected as the leader of the team, Kaesha chose to work in
the marketing role, and I had the role to be the finance for the team. Michael wanted to be
the leader of the team because he had the skills that is necessary to take the role of a
leader, such as he is very confident to speak up and he was also motivating that kept the
team going. He set aims for himself, that was to find out our target audience, which type
location is best and what sort of products we will sell. Kaesha stepped forward to take the
marketing role as she is very creative and came with some good ideas. She also set aims for
herself, that being how we would advertise our business so that we can inform customers,
she suggested to use social media sites as it is free to use. As I had the finance role I had
the responsibility to carry out research about how much we would have to spend our money
with the given fact that we had a £20,000 spending budget. This meant that I had to
research how much a van would have costed, with that the insurance and petrol, the
equipment that is needed to make the waffles and donuts, our stock and labour. I managed
to calculate all the spending with the help of Michael and Kaesha as they guided me where
to spend the money on. I managed to help out Kaesha as well as she was stuck on how
much money was need for marketing, so I managed to give a hand. Before we all actually
started the task, we all looked and tried to identify which role we best fit in relation to the
