Advanced Team Decision Making: A Developmental Model

Abstract

This document describes Advanced Team Decision Making: A developmental Model (ATDM) . Based on our observations of numerous tactical and strategic decision making teams, and on a review of relevant literature, Klein Associates derived three key components of advanced team decision making: team self identity, team conceptual level, and team self monitoring The model contains ten key behaviors critical to team development in these components. We developed this document for the Industrial College of the Armed Forces. It describes the ATDM model in language compatible with the needs of ICAF students, who are being trained to transition into strategic-level leadership positions. ATDM was first introduced in ICAF's 1992 curriculum. This document is the second of three components of the team training program Klein Associates designed for ICAF. The first component is an introductory lecture about ATDM (called Lesson 1111 in this document that we delivered to the faculty and student body. The third component (called Lesson 1311) is an exercise designed for experiential learning. The exercise and facilitated after-action review sessions give students an opportunity to practice, discuss, and improve their team decision- making skills in a manner consistent with the ATDM model. Copies of this document are also available from Klein Associates. Call 513-873-8166.
