IGEM DIRECTIONS STATEMENT 2018

Directions Statement

The impact of a lessons management program and future direction:

1. Identify

Better information for decision-making and planning

We will develop mechanisms for the sector to collect and analyse observations, insights and findings to sense-make in a complex system. Lessons will be better identified and prioritised. By thinking differently, we can look at issues from a multitude of angles, frames and viewpoints and challenge the norms. 2. Equip

Consistent tools to manage lessons

We will provide of a range of tools and make learning opportunities available to be applied consistently across the sector. Training and education will enhance sector capability to apply these tools. 3. Integrate and collaborate

Mechanisms to contribute and share learnings, and support good practice

We will design, develop and trial new ideas, processes, systems and technologies that inspire change and turn learnings into action. An online environment will provide opportunities for disaster management practitioners to share, learn and network.

4. Monitor and validate

Clear governance and accountabilities will ensure learnings are ‘hard-wired’ into the sector.

We will create a system of monitoring and validation that provides strong feedback loops. The effectiveness of solutions and innovations will be validated to ensure we learn from

what we do well, from what we don’t do so well and to put knowledge into practice. This commitment will enable sector resilience and the ability to effectively meet future challenges.
