“END OF EXERCISE MEETING ”
WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
INVITING NATIONAL AUTHORITY
Plan to meet with the representative of the National Authority about an hour or
so after the end of the exercise – and after the team has had some time to review
the quality of the participants’ expected outputs. The purpose of this 30 minute
(maximum) “End of the Exercise” meeting is threefold:
• To provide the representative of the National Authority with an opportunity
to “vent” or to blow off steam following an extremely stressful exercise.
• To offer the representative of the National Authority a brief overview of the
day’s results.
• To ascertain if the representative of the National Authority has any “burning”
issues with regard to the simulation that s/he would like to incorporate
into the next day’s debriefing workshop agenda.
Be sure to take a few copies of the draft debriefing workshop agenda (Annex
C.01.) which you should give to all attending the meeting. Review the aims and
plans of the debriefing workshop, and ask the representative of the National
Authority if s/he thinks it needs to be tailored.
You should also consider scheduling a post debriefing meeting with the representative
to confirm action plans and ways forward.
