Episode description

In this episode we provide a working definition of situational awareness and take the mystery out of how it is developed and maintained by individuals working in high risk, high consequence environments.

Specifically, we will discuss:

  • Perception
  • Understanding
  • Prediction
  • Intuition
  • Pattern Matching
  • Tacit Knowledge

And we will address some of the reasons why situational awareness can be so challenging to develop and maintain.
