Future leaders: Imagining Scenarios/Effective Decision Making/Encouraging Resilience.

Effective decision-making is essential for future leaders facing crises that extend beyond known capacities and preparedness. In such scenarios, where systems may be overwhelmed or behave unpredictably, leaders must make timely, informed, and ethical choices under pressure. Strong decision-making supports adaptive thinking, reduces uncertainty, and fosters trust—key components of resilience in complex, evolving crises. By strengthening this capability, the RBOC and SPRITE NetworkPlus will be hosting a one day event to develop our future research leaders to respond not just to expected threats, but also to the unprecedented, ensuring more robust and flexible responses in the face of future shocks.

This participatory event will use fictional scenarios based on real world events as time based decision making exercises. The first choices made by participant groups will impact on what happens afterwards and what their next decisions will need to be.
