  • Deliberate Practice: Changing the Way We Look at Business Continuity?
    As we see the field and job of the Emergency and Business Continuity Manager move to a profession, how do we get there? Deliberate practice is what turns amateurs into professionals. Deliberate practice is absolutely essential for expert performance.

    You may have heard the old saying Practice Makes Perfect? That is not true, if you practice poorly, your performance will suffer. The key distinction between doing and practicing is that we’re only practicing something when we do it in a way that makes us better at it—or at least with that intention.

  • How to Improve Emergency Management Training with Gamification
    Emergency response exercises often have a high degree of interaction between the elements that have to be learned. This increases the natural complexity of the information that must be understood and the material that must be learned (Sweller, 1994). However, the achievement of learning goals is often only determined by observation. These observations are certainly valuable in their own right (e.g. detailed descriptions of events, immediate interpretation of data, placing results in context). However, solely using observations to gather data has its limitations (Kanat, Siloju, Raghu & Vinze, 2013). The limitations which are most relevant regarding learning in emergency response exercises are the observer’s cognitive limitations and the (limited) type of data that is being gathered.

    Generally speaking, gamification has the potential to aid in the gathering of quantitative data. Gamification is the use of game elements to improve user experience and user engagement in non-game services and applications (Deterding, Sicart, Nacke, O'Hara & Dixon, 2011). In particular, we focus on the potential of gamification to support self-evaluation processes through the automated gathering of data about the participants’ performance.

  • Gamification: Developing Your Team for Disaster and Crisis Training
    Today the role of the emergency and business continuity manager includes outreach to all of the stakeholders in the organization and the community. Sharing information in the past was static, gamification can bring the audience to the emergency manager and interaction with stakeholders to a new level.

    Gamification adds game-like elements to non-game situations to promote action and behavior change. It can come in multiple forms. There is regular gamification, adding story elements, badges, and scores where they would not normally be. Think online code schools or brain trainers. These boost activity by challenging the students in their own space and making learning more fun. The draw is either a personal challenge or the interest of completing a story.

  • Leadership is a core skill you need to be successful in emergency and Business Continuity management
    Leadership is a core skill you need to be successful in emergency and business continuity management. Your leadership is critical during crises because you are more visible to the public and under pressure to perform effectively. After all, lives and property may be at stake.

    Emergency/ Business Continuity Management can be complex when authority is shared, and resources are dispersed, expertise is scattered among other agencies and government levels, and organizations. When the question of Who is in charge is asked, it may be no one.

    Symbolic leadership is critical during a crisis or an emergency. Political leaders may lose their jobs. The public may lose confidence in the system. There are expectations that the head of government will make an appearance to demonstrate their concern for people's safety at risk and support for the crisis.

  • Occam’s Razor and Business Continuity
    William of Occam was an English Franciscan friar and philosopher who lived from 1287 to 1347. Perhaps his most famous contribution to philosophy (and a variety of other fields, such as mathematics, biology, religion, and others) is what has become known as Occam’s razor.
    The principle is usually stated as: “Entities should not be multiplied without necessity.” Put another way: “The simplest solution is most likely the right one.” The idea is that as more inputs, assumptions, or dependencies are added to analysis or the solution to a problem, the more complex it becomes.

  • Using Decision Making Fast and Accurate, OODA Loop and the POP-DOC Loop
    John Boyd created a four-step process for making effective decisions in high-stakes situations called the OODA Loop. It involves collecting relevant information, recognizing potential biases, deciding, and acting, then repeating the process with new information.

    Eric McNulty and his team at the NPLI took Boyd’s concept a little farther with the POP-DOC Loop by adding two steps. The POP-DOC Loop combines analysis and action into a continuous process. The analytic side is Perceive, Orient, Predict. The Action side is Decide, Operationalize, Communicate. The advanced design of POP-DOC incorporates a wider range of human factors, including neuro- and decision science research, in order to equip leaders to build SA in high-stress, high-stakes, evolving, and unpredictable situations.

  • The Principles of Thinking
    Thinking it a process, Aristotle and Elon Musk us a process called First-principles thinking. This is one of the best ways to reverse-engineer complicated problems and unleash creative possibility. Sometimes called “reasoning from first principles,” the idea is to break down complicated problems into basic elements and then reassemble them from the ground up. It’s one of the best ways to learn to think for yourself, unlock your creative potential, and move from linear to non-linear results. This process allows you to cut through the fog of shoddy reasoning and inadequate analogies to see opportunities that others miss.

  • Mental Models and Decision Making: The Map Is The Tool The Decision is Still Yours
    To solve this problem and make decisions, the mind creates maps (mental models) of reality in order to understand it, because the only way we can process the complexity of reality is through abstraction. However we don’t understand our maps or their limits. In fact, we are so reliant on abstraction that we will frequently use an incorrect model simply because we feel any model is preferable to no model. The map is the tool the decision is still yours.

  • Make Smart Decisions, Lessons Your Parents Did Not Teach You
    This is the second of four discussions on decision making. No one taught you how to decide, it is something that we just do. When we were children our parents did not go over the decision-making process or discuss mental models with us.

    Learning to make effective decisions will have the greatest impact on your professional and personal life. I know because I have made many wrong decisions and learned that lesson from life.

    Today, as we discuss decision-making principles, I have pulled ideas and concepts from many people with a vast amount of experience, and wisdom that was gained years of living.
    They draw upon the combined expertise of some of history’s deepest thinkers. They summarize the core insights and skills from influential books on decision-making.
