Highlighted moments
In real crisis, there is no single narrative. In the simulation design, you should have, you know, these different events that are developing in parallel.
“You need also to create positive stress that would impact the learning.”
“And the thing is not to evaluate them by saying, that was good or that was bad, but what they can do better next time.”
“Crisis management, it's all about people. It should be your first priority.”
