CONCLUSION
Jaime - Identify the key components associated with the dilemma that are recognized in the course material.
Dysfunctions/functions of a team/alliance
Trust – dilemmas NATO had faced in the past; how they responded and how that generated trust among the members
Commitment– all of the members had to buy in to the idea of reacting to 9/11
Accountability
4 C’s
Preparedness to react to change: NATO had to be formed knowing that they could not predict all of the events that it would need to respond to
Context – NATO had to react to a completely different context/situation than it had been utilized for in the past; Washington’s Treaty
Capability – specific action plans, Bush’s speech about fighting back/War on Terror had to be translated to action
Trans-Organizational systems
NATO in general
First responders working together
Organizing volunteers, missing persons working with hospitals and volunteers, public forums
