Why should I care about this project?

This project produced the necessary train-the-trainer materials for DMX to be used at our member sites.

Abstract

An internal project was created to create a manual for development and implementation of decision-making exercises. Members created the format and augmented the project report with a how-to on scenario development and exercise facilitation. Marketing Options, LLC, created the final version for publication.

Objective

The purpose of this project is to develop a detailed how-to manual for developing and facilitating Decision Making Exercises (DMX).

Background

The Decision Making Exercises (DMX) project in 2007 showed that the method developed for training military commanders can successfully be used in process control. While an e-book and video were produced as part of that effort, this was insufficient for member companies to make use of this training method.

Deliverables

Electronic manual that can be printed in handbook or book format.

Tools

Training

Low-cost, low-fidelity, and applicable in one-on-one or group training, decision making training ensures trainees recognize the problem and make applicable decisions toward resolution. Explore this toolkit for scenario-based tabletop training exercises that provide direct feedback to the trainee from the expert.
