Situation Awareness
Situation Awareness (SA) – and Shared Situation Awareness (SSA)
Shared situation awareness can be defined as “the degree to which team members possess the same SA on shared SA requirements” (Endsley & Jones, 1997, p. 47; 2001, p. 48). As implied by this definition, there are information requirements that are relevant to multiple team members. A major part of teamwork involves the area where these SA requirements overlap — the shared SA requirements that exist as a function of the essential interdependency of the team members. In a poorly functioning team, two or more members may have different assessments on these shared SA requirements and thus behave in an uncoordinated or even counter-productive fashion. Yet in a smoothly functioning team, each team member shares a common understanding of what is happening on those SA elements that are common — shared SA.

I enjoyed reading this article. Quite thought provoking. I can see some application in my department.
I had problem accessing this blog post from my safari on iphone, what is the reason?
Very shorts, simple and easy to understand, bet some more comments from your side would be great
