“…Ekman (2012) found that when it came to trusting, professional familiarity across boundaries was more important than cultural perspectives. Ekman's findings were confirmed by Pramanik et al (2015), who found in a Swedish experimental collaboration study that there was a strong group bias among participants and that these partakers tended to more easily trust members of organizations that they knew beforehand and with whom could readily identify. Group bias has also been found during exercise planning processes, and this has resulted in unnecessary ad hoc processes and sector-specific exercisescript development (Paton et al 1998).…”

In crisis management, cross-sector collaboration exercises are perceived as improving preparedness and develop team-integration efforts. However, studies show that exercises may tend to produce results with limited learning and usefulness. The purpose of this nonexperimental, survey-based study was to measure the difference in perceived exercise effect between participants belonging to the exercise planning organizations and participants belonging to other participating groups. Surveys were distributed and collected from participants in a 2017 chemical oil-spill exercise set off the southern coast of Norway. The target population was operational staff, excluding exercise management and directing staff. The sample population consisted of operatives associated with the exercise organizer organization and others belonging to external public and nongovernmental emergency organizations. The data collection instrument was the ''Collaboration, Learning, and Utility Scale'' (CLU-scale). Findings indicated that the levels of CLU were higher among external participants than among those individuals who belong to the exercise planning organizations. This study recommends the development and adoption of a national maritime collaboration exercise framework. A practical implication is a recommendation to evaluate exercises to secure the outcome regarding collaboration skill using the same instrument.

“…Monopolizing, not sharing or showing a lack of interest in gaining new knowledge may be proven in extreme situations to be very dangerous (Lerbinger, 2012). Pramanik, Ekman, Hassel and Tehler (2015) emphasize the need to open cooperation with other organizations. Sharing the experience with others will help in coping with one's own crisis.…”

This competency model of a crisis manager has been developed based on cooperation with managers and experts in the field of crisis management. The brainwriting method was used to generate an overview of the competencies expected of a crisis manager. Using a mind map three basic groups of competencies were developed. The participants used Saaty's method to determine the significance of individual competencies. The different attributes of individual competencies according to the level of their development were established. Finally all individual competencies were assigned a target value which indicates the expected level of competence for the position of a crisis manager. The model of competencies is a practical tool for the establishment of crisis management system in a company.

“…Pramanik, et al [29] discovered a tendency of strong ingroup bias among exercise participants, and argued that participants found it easier to collaborate with, and trust, participants they could identify with based on, for example, similar educational background, professional experiences or type of uniform. To build trust across sectors, exercise designers have to focus on joint problem solving and variation during exercises, hence allowing for improvisation and the trying of new strategies contributes to enhance learning [30].…”

The aim of this quantitative, non-experimental, survey-based study was to examine to what extent there was a statistically significant relationship between participation in a cross-border collaboration crisis exercise and experiencing perceived levels of learning and usefulness. This study reports on the data collected from a joint Norwegian-Swedish maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) collaboration exercise in April 2017. The instrument used was the Collaboration, Learning and Utility (CLU) Scale. The study showed that the inclusion of collaborative elements in the exercises contributed to perceived learning (R=0.47), and that learning, in turn, contributed to perceived usefulness (R=0.62).This study recommends a further focus on collaboration developing elements during exercises, including preparing for the unexpected and providing even clearer collaborative instructions.Citation: Sorensen JL, Magnussen LI, Torgersen GE, Christiansen AM, Carlström ED (2018) Perceived Usefulness of Maritime Cross-Border Collaboration Exercises.
