Relationship Interoperability: How to Excel at the Human Side of Operational Effectiveness

Although the term “interoperability” usually is associated with communication systems and processes, the fact is that human beings are required to plan, develop, operate, and maintain them. As a result, people are an integral part of operational effectiveness. If fire and rescue leaders are to maximize the likelihood of achieving their mission, both day-to-day and in times of emergency, they must rely on both internal and external relationships that they have developed over time.
