Team and Collective Training Needs Analysis

Zusatztext 'In an age where organisations now have to justify spending on complex training and exercising for teams and collective capabilities! this book is long overdue. It provides processes on the elements of team and collective training analysis! gives a toolkit for those involved with the acquisition of related training systems and! more importantly! is an essential guide for those who want to make their training better.' Commander Paul Pine! Royal Navy (Maritime Training Acquisition Organization) 'This is an exceptionally comprehensive look at team and collective training. It provides a rare insight into the methodology of training needs analysis and how it can address the complexities beyond the individual level. The author's credentials are apparent and amply demonstrated in the worked examples and case studies. This is a definitive guide not just to those responsible for training and operational delivery but also those involved in R&D or procurement.' Lt Col (Retd) Guy Wallis! Principal Analyst!

Klappentext

Training Needs Analysis, is a well-established methodology for analysing training requirements and specifying training solutions. However, the analytical techniques employed offer little guidance for use in a team and collective context. Team and Collective Training Needs Analysis (TCTNA) closes this methodological gap. It addresses the relationship of individual and team tasks, teamwork, command and control, task and training environments, scenario definition, instructional strategy, team training approaches, instructional functions, and wide-ranging organisational and procurement considerations.

Zusammenfassung

Military capability is delivered operationally at a team and collective level, be it a unit as small as a squad or section, or as large as a maritime task group. Modern military forces are required to deal with a potentially wide range of missions frequently involving multiple alliance partners, within a geopolitical environment which can seem to change rapidly. Individual performance, while being important, is not the primary determinant of mission success - force integration, interoperability, adaptability and teamwork are key factors. Team and collective training which fully addresses these factors is fundamental to the development and delivery of military capability. As a consequence, the requirement to determine training requirements and specify effective systems for the delivery of team and collective training is critical to operational success.

Training Needs Analysis (also known as Front End Analysis), is a well-established methodology for analysing training requirements and specifying training solutions used extensively by the UK and its NATO partners. However, the analytical techniques employed are optimised for individual training, with little guidance being offered on its application in the team and collective context. Team and Collective Training Needs Analysis (TCTNA) has been developed to close this methodological gap. It addresses the i…
