| Summary: | "Why are the same planning failures that led to the loss of 2,400 Americans at Pearl Harbor apparent in the 9-11 attacks, Hurricane Katrina response, Virginia Tech shootings, and the Deepwater Horizon Disaster? ... These are all attributable to failures in the ability of people to work together, or collaborate, for our protection. ... Part I ... explains to both the general reader and homeland security experts alike, what individual and organizational factors are needed to establish a collaborative environment. These factors include organizational trust, knowledge management, organizational structure, organizational culture, and leadership. These collaboration factors provide the basis for Part II, where [authors] look at the important contributions of actual homeland security practitioners. These practitioners describe the role of human collaboration in making peace, bombing the Third Reich (by a member of the Greatest Generation), disaster management, public safety communications interoperability, electric power restoration, medical support for mass sheltering, government healthcare, cybersecurity, science diplomacy, technology innovation, government acquisition, systems engineering, and intellectual property litigation. Finally, in Part III, [authors] describe a methodology for comprehensive collaboration planning (CCP) to optimize planning for day-to-day or rare "grey swan" or unexpected "black swan" events. In the end, [authors] show that achieving these five collaboration factors ultimately requires direct interaction between the people involved in any homeland security endeavor, and not the technology they envision, develop, buy, sell, deploy, operate and sustain. It does not matter what you buy if the people who use it - or with whom they must collaborate in a crisis as well as day-to-day unexpected events - do not have their act together. The bottom line is that how well people do together in any homeland security (or other) domain depends exclusively on the success of human-to-human interoperability and interaction. . . ."--Publisher's website. |
