Understanding learning needs in multi-team systems

What are Multiteam Systems (MTSs)? MTSs include linked teams working on big goals in high-stakes areas like healthcare or crises, where coordination boosts safety and efficiency. Source: Rosen et al.

Teamwork skills—knowledge, attitudes, communication—drive performance through cognition and behaviors, per meta-analyses. Source: Rosen et al.

How does leadership work in MTSs? Leaders span boundaries to align teams with top goals, especially in polycrisis with overlapping threats needing adaptive coordination.
