This one-day workshop focuses on small unit incident leadership and decision making, individual recognition of leadership traits, introduces the concept of using a decision-making process to improve collaborative efficiency, and approaches to after action to increase organizational capabilities.

The foundation for this decision making course has been adapted from concepts within the Department of Defense, Special Operations Command and combines this process with present day doctrines from the Department of Homeland Security / Federal Emergency Management Agency and best business practices.

These concepts are consistent with and are contemporary to the National Incident Management System, the National Response Framework and National Recovery Framework.

Additional items that are explored include the basics of leadership, expectation and intent, understanding and evaluating the needs in a rapidly changing environment, and using quantitative tools. All of these ideas culminate in a better understanding and usage of a formal decision-making process and having the tools to be better prepared as a leader.
