Incidently, we are also looking at a layered validation of CRM (which
we call Aviation Team Training - ATT). The first level is the normal
end of course validation that most organisation which use a systems
approach employ. The second level is a pre-course, one-month post
course and 12 months post course questionnaire/interview approach
looking at the transfer of team skills training. The final level is
the difficult one and will probably take a few years, but we are
looking to try to develop an objective measure based on simulation
flight. Just about everyone who has done the ATT so far is very
enthusiastic about it, but while a warm fuzzy feeling is good for
morale and other aspects of organisational climate, it doesn't justify
the expense of a course which purports to achieve other objectives too.
I will continue to follow our discussion about CRM validation with
great interst,
