Title Multidisciplinary cooperation in crisis management teams: A tool to improve team situation awareness Type Conference Article
Year 2011 Publication 8th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management: From Early-Warning Systems to Preparedness and Training, ISCRAM 2011 Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2011
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Information systems; Competencies; Cooperation; Crisis management; Multi-disciplinary teams; Network-centric; Team situation awareness; Human resource management
Abstract When a crisis occurs, people from different organizations, on different hierarchical levels have to deal with unexpected situations that require coordinated effort. The goal of this research is to improve multidisciplinary cooperation for crisis management teams. We developed a tool, the Multi-mono guide, which helps team members to share information at the right time, with the right person, in the right way. A pre-test post-test intervention experiment was conducted with 8 professional teams to evaluate the effect of the tool on individual competencies, team situation awareness and process satisfaction. The experimental group was more satisfied with the meetings and about the way they shared information. Participants reported that the Multi-mono guide makes them aware of sharing information. We didn't find significant differences for individual competencies and team situation awareness. This is may be because the teams that participated were very experienced. Participants did find the Multi-mono guide useful for trainees.

Title MIRROR: Improving coordination in multidisciplinary crisis management teams Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication ISCRAM 2012 Conference Proceedings – 9th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2012
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Information systems; Mirrors; Personnel training; Wages; Coordination; Interaction; Liaisons; Multi-disciplinary teams; Vital infrastructure; Human resource management
Abstract In crisis situations different organizations have to cooperate to gain shared situation awareness and to take accurate decisions. However, several evaluation studies of crisis mitigation processes indicate that it is hard to effectively coordinate efforts of all organizations involved. The goal of our project is to improve coordination in crisis management teams, by improving the interaction processes in a crisis management team. The project consists of two main steps. First, the development of MIRROR, i.e. an overview of 16 relevant factors that influence team interaction. Second, the development of a training based on MIRROR. We expect MIRROR and its training module to be a useful tool for team members of crisis teams. In addition, MIRROR has the advantage that it can be applied in non-crisis teams, during daily situations, as well. This enlarges the chances for potential team members of crisis teams to increase their team interactions skills. © 2012 ISCRAM.

Title Designing for firefighters-building empathy through live action role-playing Type Conference Article
Year 2009 Publication ISCRAM 2009 – 6th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management: Boundary Spanning Initiatives and New Perspectives Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2009
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Fires; Information systems; Navigation; Cognitive skill; Empathic study; Firefighting; Live actions; Multi-disciplinary teams; Participatory design; Role-playing study; Technology experts; Fire extinguishers
Abstract In this paper we present a role-playing workshop in a firefighting scenario conducted within the frame of a multidisciplinary consortium. Our work focuses on developing a navigation ubicomp infrastructure leveraging the cognitive skills of firefighters. Technology for navigation must understand existing navigation practices in order to provide adequate support. To deal with the complexity of this process, we use a participatory design approach based on a strong synergy among partners. We argue that a key aspect for the creation of this synergy is the construction of a bond of empathy allowing technology experts to understand the needs of the users of technology and also allowing firefighters to understand the role and activities of technology developers in the process. We present an account of the workshop conducted and some insights of the role that this method can play for complex, multidisciplinary teams working on developing safety-critical technology.
