[[Teaming by Amy Edmondson]] dates:: 2022-11-13 *Synchronizing our view of the moment allows us to agree on reality and choose the best course of action based on that reality.* This reminds me of the challenge of [[Identifying Reality]], [[Constructivism]] argues that we are always identifying _our_ reality which is because [[We see the world in stories]] although we take in data. What is a shared mental model? - A shared mental model is the act of creating a similar idea of the situation when in a team, that usually includes what's happening, who's doing what, what might happen, what to attend to, any gaps in our understanding, how to maintain [[Situational Awareness]]. why does it matter Creating and maintaining a shared mental model increases the effectiveness of monitoring, situational awareness, team motivation, trust, efficacy, and other measures of team performance. The "Name" in [[Name Claim Aim - Leading with Good Judgment]] is committed to starting with a shared mental model. ### Key questions to create shared mental models - Where are we headed? [[vision]] - what's important? - priorities - who should? roles - How to? Tasks norms interdependencies - Why to? rationale - Who knows? Who else needs to know? - What if? - What's up? ### How can it be measured “concept-mapping approach. This technique has been successfully used in previous experimental studies with action teams (Ellis, 2006; Marks et al., 2002; Marks et al., 2000). It requires participants to sort different concepts into a given structure (map), for example, different subtasks of a process have to be brought in the right chronological order. The resulting map represents the participant’s mental model.” (Burtscher et al., 2011, p. 260) ![[Concept Mapping for shared mental model evaluation.jpg]] ### What would the opposite argument be? You'll never create the situation where everyone sees things exactly the same, so don't waste to much time on communication. %% tags: #note/idea | #on/team | #on/nameclaimaim | #on/communication %% ## Sources: Burtscher, M.
