Strategic Frameworks for Human Performance and Human Systems Integration: Spotlight on General Systems Performance Theory and Nonlinear Causal Resource Analysis

摘要

A two-day workshop was held at the University of Texas at Arlington to discuss, analyze, and make recommendations on frameworks for human performance and human systems integration usable by the DoD. Twenty-five participants from eighteen organizations listened to nineteen presentations on human performance frameworks and their problems and applications. The presentations and the discussions they sparked are detailed in these proceedings. The group converged on recommendation of General Systems Performance Theory (GSPT) and its derivative, Nonlinear Causal Resource Analysis (NCRA), as composing a framework with potential to address a host of problems faced by the DoD in making the best use of human performance advances in today's dynamic environment. Specific recommendations to the Defense Safety Oversight Council are contained in the report.
