  2. AManaging Team-Based Projects - Introduction Definition: a number of people associated in some joint action eg. a RESEARCH Team Drivers: multi-disciplinary (eg. economics + environment = environmental economics; design science + computer science + building science + environmental science = LCADesign …solution to major challenge, innovation…) Organisational Context: Research Cultures and Processes > private sector (eg. Allen Consulting, Boston Consulting, KPMG, PWC, Minter Ellison etc) > CSIRO, CRCs etc > Universities

  3. AManaging Team-Based Projects - Introduction Research Trajectories at ISR >Hierarchies of complexity and critical mass in research 1………… 2……………. 3……………. 1.national research centre (leader, lead org’n) 2.research node in nat’l centre (Program in CRC; Program Leader) 3.single projects (eg. ARC project; project leader)

  4. B Managing Team-Based Projects Skills What is the mix of skills and disciplines needed to do the project? Use of skills matrix. Roles Be clear on who is responsible for what Personalities. I have found Myers-Briggs to be useful. Communication Have a process for keeping everyone informed
