What progress did you make during the session? Could it have gone better?<\/p>\n

\n

Whether managing major incidents, making complex decisions or facilitating group<\/p>\n

\n

3. Trusting solutions that worked before.<\/div>\n
4. Decision making being done on poor quality information.<\/div>\n
5. Actions are taken whilst there is a lack of common understanding of the issue.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
