About Us
Within a crisis team, everyone aims to share information quickly. However, amidst the urgency of a crisis, chaos can ensue: individuals speak over one another, discussions arise while facts are still being shared, and crucial information may be overlooked.
Therefore, it is crucial to employ the 'circle method' during your crisis meetings. The chairperson grants the floor to the team member to their left, and then proceeds clockwise, one by one. Everyone at the table knows precisely when it is their turn in advance. This fosters calm, clarity, and prevents unconscious interruptions.
Using the circle method for situation assessment, each team member briefly and structuredly shares the most critical facts and assumptions pertinent to their own area of responsibility. Only information is presented, without opinions or discussions. This quickly creates a complete and clear overview of the situation.
This is ideal for the logger. Information is received per team member and topic, allowing for immediate and accurate recording. This creates a clear logbook that supports the remainder of the decision-making process.
