The digitalization of business processes implies important changes in the organization of air traffic control companies. In this research, we have developed an original critical incident drill approach based on service design techniques combined with risk management. The aim is to take into account the co-production elements inherent to any complex service system and also the necessary interplay between explicit (information) and tacit (know-how) knowledge. The critical incident drill begins with a preparation where immersion episodes and modeling of new digital processes by the service blueprint allows to imagine coherent and coordinated interactions between human expertise, information system and any external IT provider. Once ready the new process is simulated in real size and conditions. Co-creation between stakeholders makes it possible to conduct a relevant analysis of the risks as well as opportunities for improvement. This approach has been used successfully by skyguide to test and implement new air traffic management digitalized processes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
