"What do we do now?"
Your organization has endured an emergency or crisis event. Now what? Most organizations breathe a sigh of relief and simply move on. While taking a moment to recuperate is worthwhile, it's a missed opportunity to avoid a quality debrief.
An After-Action Report is an opportunity to analyze the actions taken (or not taken) during a crisis response. Did your staff follow your emergency plans? Did your equipment function as designed? How was communication top-down, bottom-up, and across the organization? These are important questions to ask and their answers can help you build a more resilient organization and inform your continuous improvement planning.
An Improvement Plan takes the information from the After-Action Reporting process and creates a responsibility matrix for follow-up tasks. We see a lot of organizations that skip this critical step. Even though they held a great debriefing session, nothing came out of it! Ensure your team follows through on the lessons learned from the emergency you endured and foster a better state of preparedness.
"Never waste an emergency."
