Action Model and Andrew McGregor
Present Collaborations:
McGregor, A. D and Hart, A. A: Applying A New Model for Action to the Operation of Coast Guard Rescue Procedures in the Canterbury Region of New Zealand
I am working cooperatively with Andrew McGregor, a volunteer aircrew member in the Coast Guard Canterbury Air Patrol Unit. He is presently writing a training module for the Coast Guard Canterbury Air Patrol of New Zealand to incorporate and apply the action model (developed in my PhD).
Most critically, this involves changing the action procedures applied by staff during rescue missions to establish task specific orientation considerations. In other words, the action model is being used to improve the ability of aircrew to orient to the necessary shared situational awareness. These procedures shape staff interactions and staff interactions with other individuals and outside organizations, such as other units within the Coast Guard and tasking agencies such as the police.
