Task

what changes at each stage is the level of detail expected, the sophistication in your reflections and the range of theories thought about in order to understand the case.

Again there are 3 submissions:

1. The group report;

2. Individual reflections on the process of thinking through OM; and

3. Peer moderation

During sessions you will:

• View the material assigned ,• Complete discussions and brainstorming with your group

• Independent research to answer the questions raised in the group

Moderated peer weighting process

You will complete a peer assessment as per assignment #1. Reread the material in Assignment

#1.

The perceived weighting will be based on the following criteria:

• Quality of output

• Timeliness of work produced

• Attendance and/or participation in group processes

• Willingness to share, to assist others.

Group Report: Action Plan: (15 marks)

This is the group presentation. Based on this material you will be expected to construct an Action Plan as a group. The Action

Your action plan will achieve the following:

1) Identifying a coherent set of questions that need to be addressed in order to understand the situation as well as think through what actions needed in order to achieve the desired operations and defend that selection - make sure it is a coherent set of questions;

2) A reasoned selection of theories and tools that help you think about the case you are addressing (you will select from ALL the tools studied to date);

3) An understanding of where information that assists you deal with the case comes from and look for information that challenges what you have assumed;

4) The logical selection of tools, techniques, standards and controls that reflects a consideration of a variety of situations;

5) Your ability to collaborate to create an action plan that responds to the changes in the emergency environment;

6) The way your action plan reflects the inquiry process completed in your groups. You can use tools such as mind mapping to organise the questions into an organised set. Questions do not operate in isolation rather each informs others in a certain order.
