The Action Model and Consequent Interventions

A first priority is to develop and assess new approaches to intervention that are based on the action model developed in my PhD. This model explains how an individual or a group can achieve accurate, viable, socially sustainable, meaningful and embodied action. The model pertains to any situation of human endeavour where processes require fast, accurate, action cognitions, particularly in situations where time and safety are critical, and which might involve incomplete information and ethical considerations. Intervention approaches based on this ‘action model’ will be similarly wide scope. ‘Action interventions’ will have applications in the fields of: counselling, psychotherapy, psychology, health care, nursing, social work, human services, social policy, social sustainability, conflict resolution, diplomacy, education, business, health science, sports science, medicine, the operation of surgical teams, aviation and transport human factors, software design, and law enforcement. It will be necessary to assess the effectiveness of each action intervention. These projects will offer many collaborative opportunities.
The initial intervention that I am pursuing is represented by PhD2: it is an attempt to make the action model into an intervention technology that can be used within the high touch professions. I am presently calling this the 'action technology'. It may be possible to take the 'action technology'  into other fields. If not I can return to the action model and create forms of this that are more suitable for other situations.
