STRATEGICS© – NaviMinds’ favourite

STRATEGICS© is an interactive exercise that deepens participants’ understanding of the need to recognise and manage threats and errors.

Immerse your team in a hands-on experience that goes beyond just theory and provides practical insights into threat and error management. Your students must actively navigate challenges on the game board, using tried-and-true models like DODAR or FORDEC to enhance their decision-making skills.

Each student will receive one or more magnetic game pieces, each with a different shape and colour. Their task is to place all the game pieces on the game board while following a structured decision-making process. They must navigate around the threats and errors that the game board presents.

Our STRATEGICS© exercise is designed for Crew Resource Management and Human Factors training. It is ideal for bringing together different groups of personnel, e.g. cabin crew, flight deck crew, technicians, and managers. Other industries, such as healthcare, oil and gas, maritime, or any sector where safety closely links to effective decision-making and cooperation between team members, equally find this exercise well-suited.

STRATEGICS© will deepen your student’s understanding of the need to consciously and continuously manage threats and errors. It further proves the importance of cooperation, effective, unhindered information sharing, structured decision-making processes, and effective time management.

A trainer manual is provided to guide you on how to use the exercise, what to look for when a group is working, and how to effectively debrief the activity to maximise learning outcomes.

You can with great benefit, use STRATEGICS© with our lesson plan on decision-making.
