Introduction
The purpose of this portfolio is to reflect and analyse a critical incident that occurred while undertaking the group task of BSB124. Reflecting on the task is valuable for employers to develop the work progress since the ability to analysing team work will be beneficial to my career. In this portfolio I will analyse this critical incident specifically using the SMARP model and the Media Richness Theory (Dennis & Kinney, 1998; McShane, Olekalns & Travaglione, 2013). Following this, I will reflect on my personal development from the group communication perspectives. In addition, I will outline my career development strategies using SMART goals and measuring ways to improve my effectiveness in the organisational setting.

In order to develop my interpersonal skills, the critical incident occurred in my group will be discussed in this portfolio using the STARP model (see REF _Ref402192473 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 1).
