Task

The question of teams — and not leadership — is the hard problem of the psychosocial sciences. The observation is readily inferable from the team cohesion and performance (TCP) studies tasked by the NASA Human Research Program (HRP) to support astronaut selection for long distance space expeditions (LDSEs), including to Mars. LDSEs are high-risk systems. They are organizations distinguished by their unforgiving parameters and where the "first error could be the last trial.”

Response

Collaborative Mindfulness (CM) is a TCP model for high-risk systems and organizations generally. It extends upon the high reliability organization (HRO) cognitive architecture, was designed in response to NASA LDSE team requirements, and is applicable across operations and enterprises. Cybernetic, phenomenological, and social-psychological perspectives are enacted to enhance interpretability, applicability, and relevance.

Method

Best teaching practices are employed. They include discovery sessions, learning exercises, knowledge checks, and a rigorous reduction of human phenomena and core concepts.
