About the session

Ever been involved in a 'crisis team', put together at a moment's notice in response to some catastrophe or other? We all work really hard at trying to prevent them - but I'll bet they keep happening. Ever wondered if there is a better way of responding when we need to? I work on lifeboats, where we put teams together in response to complex and volatile events in 10 minutes. Let's explore what we can learn from that culture.
