Course Title: Strategic Decision Making in Emergency Management 

Who Should Attend: The course is primarily designed for those working in organisations, such as local authorities and other agencies, that do not have a bespoke internal programme of strategic emergency management training. However, those that do have their own programmes may wish to send delegates to experience the multi-agency dimension.

Delegates should have, or be aspiring to, a role at the local strategic level of emergency management. The challenges presented on the course will appeal to strategic thinkers, even if they have relatively little experience of civil protection.

Aim: To prepare delegates for emergency management activity at the strategic level.

Objectives: By the end of the event delegates will be able to:

• Use conceptual frameworks and case studies to analyse the vulnerability of organisations to emergencies, and their ability to manage and recover from them.
• Analyse and evaluate information to create a common recognised information picture, based on a shared understanding of a situation.
• Frame a strategic aim, strategies, main effort and supporting objectives under exercise conditions.
• Evaluate a range of decision-making models.
• Make effective strategic decisions in table-top exercises.
• Explain the role of the strategic level in the overall UK Concept of Operations.

Progression:   This course provides skills and knowledge training for individuals who may be required to operate within a strategic-level single or multi-agency decision making group. It provides the ideal opportunity for individuals to acquire and practice decision making skills and competences before participating in team exercises.  The next stage of training would be participation in a GOLD STANDARD exercise.
