Creativity training needs assessment for homeland security enterprise: a case for creative thinking/ Alexis L. d'Amato and Samuel T. Hunter
Material type: TextPublication details: 2024Subject(s): Online resources: In: The Journal of Policing, Intelligence and Counter Terrorism, Volume 19, Number 1, February 2024, page: 61-82Summary: Creativity, specifically creative problem solving, is often excluded from Homeland Security Enterprise efforts to train and develop their workforces. To determine if this lack of training was a key knowledge gap in the communities, we drew on organisational creativity literature. Using the personnel databases O*NET and Careers in the Military Database, we conducted a training needs assessment by identifying relevant job tasks, knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) that align with the creative process. More specifically, we sought to identify the need for creative problem-solving training and designated creative thinking time (e.g. red teaming) to influence innovative intelligence capabilities. Based on our findings, we recommend creativity training to facilitate creative thinking and action. Moreover, we outline situational and individual factors that will affect the transfer of the training, such as organisation environment, leadership, and creative self-efficacy. The impact of these recommendations will aid security, counterterrorism, and intelligence communities to efficiently detect and prevent emerging threats, as well as develop intelligence products to further support the Homeland Security Enterprise mission.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
