Why use a consultant or an observer for a small
group? (Remember, carefully think
through your answer. Your final
project is based on this very concept).
A consultant and an
observer is someone who examines and provide feedback towards their investigation.
The observer can also give ideas and insight to help the group out if they are
stuck. It is very helpful to have an outsider to examine because this person
can give useful comments and feedback towards the group. For example, a group
can be working, building a design for a shirt and everyone in the group thinks
it is all wonderful and great. The consultant can step in and give his or her
view negative view on the shirt because this person did not partake in any
process of the project. It will also let the group knows what others kind of
think about the shirt. Normally an
outsider will most likely to be unbiased.
A consultant can also help
a small group during conflict. Since this person is not involved, they can help
the group talk it out and give suggestions for reconciliation.
By having a consultant or
an observer, the group can be evaluated on their performance. They can give an evaluation
for how members did in the group. It is always beneficial if a group has
feedback from a third party.
