\r\nThe notes are a companion piece to the video presentation that was first aired November 18, 2004. This material provided viewers with tools to use while watching the video presentation ideas on how to work in Interdisciplinary Teams (IDT). Given various scenarios involving unproductive team behaviors, the video provided tools and techniques that would improve interdisciplinary team skills in accordance with the participant guide.
\r\nWorking in interdisciplinary teams is a crucial part of the BLM’s work. Land use planning and NEPA analysis receive a great deal of public scrutiny on both local and national levels. The effective interpersonal functioning of the interdisciplinary team directly impacts the quality and effectiveness of Resource Management Plans (RMPs), implementation plans, and NEPA documents. This training will enable interdisciplinary team (IDT) members to use tools and techniques that will improve their team skills. Teamwork that is more effective will result in improved quality of our RMPs and implementation.
