Title Learning and renewal following threat and crisis: The experience of a computer services firm in response to Y2K and 9/11 Type Conference Article
Year 2005 Publication Proceedings of ISCRAM 2005 – 2nd International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2005
Volume Issue Pages 43-51
Keywords Information systems; Computer services; Crisis; Learning process; Organizational learning; Renewal; Threat; Knowledge management
Abstract This paper reports on a research project in progress. This project is an investigation of the ways in which organizations learn in response to threats and crises. Considerable scholarship in organizational learning theory, renewal, and in organizational crisis suggests that the ability of organizations to learn and reconstitute themselves is a critical capacity for successfully responding to crises and threats. These learning processes are examined within the context of a global, Fortune 100 computer services firm and its response to the Y2K threat and the 9/11 crisis.

Title Requirements for emergency management training from a 'passion for failures' perspective Type Conference Article
Year 2007 Publication Intelligent Human Computer Systems for Crisis Response and Management, ISCRAM 2007 Academic Proceedings Papers Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2007
Volume Issue Pages 449-456
Keywords Civil defense; Disasters; Failure (mechanical); Feedback; Learning systems; Coaching; Emergency management; Learning process; Organizational learning; Swedishs; Training exercise; Risk management
Abstract Swedish municipalities are stimulated to conduct emergency management exercises in addition to developing crisis plans. These exercises tend to be grounded in an instrumental philosophy. There is too much focus on doing the exercise and too little attention for the implementation of lessons learned afterwards. A common experience is that the same 'mistakes' are discovered again and again in yearly exercises. Furthermore there is a paradoxical balance between empowering the organization in its learning process (positive feedback) and revealing the failures (negative feedback). In this paper we reflect on the learning process in a Swedish municipality in 2006 where two emergency management exercises were held and where a minor and a major crisis occurred during the year. We argue that the longitudinal learning process should be the focus in stead of ad hoc exercises. In addition we develop some requirements for emergency management training from a 'passion for failures' perspective.
