"Should you build a scenario if a mistake made on the job is very costly but only happens once a year?"
I get this question or a variation of it quite often.
Over the years, as I've been working with different clients, I've realized that there's a danger to scenarios - they can fit almost anywhere and make almost any kind of learning more "sexy". ??
The challenge is using scenarios strategically and where they'll provide the most psychological leverage aka sometimes a scenario is used exclusively to change beliefs. But you have to know when THAT kind of scenario is a good fit over a more nuts and bolts procedure laden version.
Several good reasons to craft compelling scenarios:
- You need to compress the time between the "mistake" and the "consequence"
- The connection between the "mistake" and the "consequence" is not evident
- You want to get people to think differently about their ability to do something
- When the mistake is costly and it should be experienced/practised in a safe place... (there are some conditions to this!)
