The Incident Command Competency Framework
.
The gap between ICS theory and practice.
Since its inception in 1968 as a hierarchal approach to the command, control and coordination of emergency response, many private sector organizations have adopted ICS as the global standard in emergency management practices.
However, post-event evaluations indicate that certain aspects of an organization’s implementation of ICS fall short of many critical indicators.
These strategic and tactical deficiencies indicate what Global experts identify as a gap between ICS theory and practice.

What's causing the disparity gap?
Inadequate Training
Inadequate training is one of the most prevalent issues noted in post-event evaluations and results in strategic and tactical deficiencies during any emergency response.
Lack of New Learning and Evaluation Models
Many traditional learning models and approaches do not address applied levels of learning and reality-based training progressions to evaluate real-time behaviours.
.
Here is how the ICCF bridges the gap.
ICCF addresses deficiencies in the conventional implementation of ICS by providing real-world implementation strategies, enhanced learning approaches and reality-based training tools.
Reality-based Training Tools
Global’s unique training tools place learners in real situations to accelerate critical thinking, reduce high-consequence mistakes and measure behavioural competency and risk.
Sophisticated Models for Learning
Among other models, Bloom’s Taxonomy is a hierarchical framework that encourages learners to work their way toward high-order thinking and cognitive tasks, increasing retention and recall.
