Evaluation of achievement of strategic goals
Endorsed by
Motivation
In strategic exercises the achievement of (pre-set) goals has to be validated. These are usually related to decision-making processes. Due to a variety of criteria and nuances in conditions for achievement this can pose a challenge to evaluators.
Potential Solutions
Following solutions could be addressing this gap.
The evaluation of strategic exercises are usually focussed on decision-making procedures, requiring in depth-knowledge of expected outcomes and decision-making procedures. As such, measurement of success becomes more complex, as ways to achieve a certain goal are more varied and validation can be more subjective. It is therefore necessary to find tools that support the validation, and create more objective criteria to measure success.
Rationale & related CM function(s)
Rationale
- Sufficient understanding of the crisis/disaster management system evaluated
- Sufficient understanding of the exercise participants capabilities
- Sufficient understanding of predominant culture
- Chosen exercise type, such as Tabletop Exercise (TTX), Command Post Exercise (CPX), or Full Scale Exercise (FSX)
- Elements of the exercise scenario, which help to build up a fictional narrative and serve to control difficulty/complexity
- Overarching purpose for the exercise
- Objectives to be reached by the exercise participants (qualitative, quanitative or both)
- Key Performance Indicators, utilized to measure the performance of exercise participants
- Areas/Aspects of particular importance to be observed
- Defined Roles and Functions within the exercise organisation and evaluation efforts
- Pre-defined checklists or forms to log observations throughout an exercise
- Possible options of documenting perceptions (e.g. text, photos, videos, audio recordings, drawings, map annotations, etc.), which can be utilized for evaluation
