Project overview
The armed forces are required to build Collective Training (CT) capability in a climate of increasing constraints on time, money and resources. This has fuelled a drive to identify and validate innovative training interventions that maximise collective performance. The Defence Human Capability Science and Technology Centre (DHCSTC) issued a statement of requirement to assess ways in which novel methods could be utilised to accelerate and enhance team performance.
The Collective Teamwork Training Intervention Measurement and Evaluation project (C:TTIME) was a program of work designed to address this requirement. To be achieved via identification of a wide range of interventions and measures of teamwork to inform rigorous experimental evaluation of their effectiveness. The C:TTIME team carried out a literature review of teamwork measures and intervention which has been accepted as the basis of a ‘State of Science’ publication with world leading co-authors in a high impact journal in the field of Human Factors. The team have also designed and developed a novel experimental protocol to assess the performance of augmented teams during submarine control room and domain agnostic operations. The work has been appraised by military stakeholders with clear avenues of exploitation having been identified depending on the success of the testing process.
