Blog Crew Resource Management

What my blog has in store for you each month, you can read here:

1. In This Blog We Deepen our Knowledge of Crew Resource Management

Here, I publish articles for you every month. Please find the links to each of them under the contact form.

In these articles, we deal with crew resource management. Not only do we take a closer look at CRM concepts already familiar to you, but I will also show you how to integrate, for example, checklists, decision-making, and a speak up into your daily routine easily.

One of the central topics in crew resource management are the human factors, which, for instance, can compromise your teamwork, or your situational awareness. I will reveal for you, how you can deal with them together with your team.

2. A Blog for Continuous Development

Other topics in this blog can be lifelong learning and our professional development.

What springs to our minds first, when we imagine a training course? New knowledge or skills? What is more, could we possibly see some aspects from a different point of view? Could we develop new attitudes?

In this blog, we will address, how to transfer this new knowledge and newly acquired skills, as well as our attitudes from a seminar into our teamwork.

Countless interactions with our team and shared tasks offer us the opportunity for this every day.

3. Optimal Teamwork Especially Under Pressure

It should be our goal to internalise CRM principles in a way that we can apply them especially under pressure in order to avoid that mistakes have serious consequences.

The crew of an A 380 exerted excellent teamwork when it was confronted with a substantial damage to one engine. Captain de Crespigny captured the very idea of crew resource management in a nutshell when he said:
