One can take the following steps: 1. Establishing clear data collection goals that align with the project’s objectives. 2. Workshop to evaluate the pros and cons of the different field data collection methods. 3. Pilot test with different methods in a real-world scenario. 4. Create a standardized procedure covering data formats, protocols for data entry, and quality control measures. 5. Training and Capacity Building of the team on selected method. 6. Facilitating communication among team members to address issues quickly. By following these steps, one can create a more cohesive strategy for field data collection and align the team's efforts effectively.

To ensure a cohesive approach in field data collection in GIS, I would establish clear data collection protocols that align with project goals, emphasizing standardized tools like Survey123/Fieldmaps for ArcGIS to ensure uniformity. I’d facilitate a team workshop to address any concerns, train team members on these tools, and ensure consistency in data format and accuracy. Regular check-ins and feedback loops would also be implemented to monitor progress and resolve any issues swiftly, fostering collaboration and shared understanding within the team. I would make sure that each team member is confident in utilising the app I require them to use. Do training manuals so they able to go through every time they are stuck.

In situations where my team was divided over data collection methods, I found that the issue often stemmed from deeper concerns like differing levels of comfort with technology or data accuracy priorities. Instead of just debating methods, I’d use a "design thinking" approach, encouraging empathy by having team members step into each other's roles. This shift often uncovers shared goals and opens up new hybrid solutions. In one case, we developed a custom workflow that combined the strengths of both approaches, which ultimately led to a more cohesive and innovative outcome.

Je propose pour favoriser un consensus au sein d'une équipe sur les méthodes de collecte de données de terrain pour votre projet SIG : * Atelier de co-création : Organisez un atelier où chaque membre de l'équipe propose ses idées sur les méthodes de collecte les plus adaptées. * Prototypage rapide : Choisissez quelques méthodes de collecte différentes et réalisez de petits tests sur le terrain. * Matrice d'évaluation collaborative : Créez une matrice simple où les différentes méthodes de collecte sont comparées en fonction de critères clés (coût, précision, temps, etc.).

Methods should be clearly stated during training. I don't expect my team to have such conflict in the field. In case of the conflict I will ask them to report such incidents to the situation room for prompt response
