Communication
When working on big projects, a lack of communication could be detrimental. Problem solving as a group will enhance the communication skills. As the group tries to solve a problem, they will need to relay their ideas for a solution in a clear and concise manner so that the instructions are understood by all. People will also learn to voice their opinions in these situations.
Cooperation
Communication and cooperation go hand in hand. If there is no cooperation, the communication will fail. If the communication is weak, cooperation will fail as everyone will attempt to do their own thing. Problem solving may help a group master these skills as the problem will never be solved if they do not cooperate.

Problem solving in a group will improve every individuals’ ability to think analytically. This will help them in terms of any further problem solving that they encounter in their life, be it at work or at home.
