Organizations are often challenged to identify and resolve workplace problems. The Critical Incident technique gives them a starting point and a process for advancing organizational development through learning experiences. It helps them study "what people do" in various situations.
The background, examples and steps in conducting a multi-incident analysis are described, discussed and applied during this module. Practical examples and case studies will help link the knowledge to practice.

Summary
Additional resources
Scenario-building enables managers to invent and then consider in depth several varied stories of equally plausible futures. They can then make strategic decisions that will be sound for all plausible futures. No matter what future takes place, one is more likely to be ready for and influential in it if one has thought seriously about scenarios. Scenario planning challenges mental models about the world and lifts the blinders that limit our creativity and resourcefulness.
How to Analyze a Case StudyIncluded in these cases are questions.docxpooleavelina
How to Analyze a Case Study
Included in these cases are questions to help you understand and analyze the case. You may, however, be assigned other case studies that do not have questions. This Hands-on Guide presents a structured framework to help you analyze such cases as well as the case studies in this text. Knowing how to analyze a case will help you attack virtually any business problem.
A case study helps students learn by immersing them in a real-world business scenario where they can act as problem-solvers and decision-makers. The case presents facts about a particular organization. Students are asked to analyze the case by focusing on the most important facts and using this information to determine the opportunities and problems facing that organization. Students are then asked to identify alternative courses of action to deal with the problems they identify.
A case study analysis must not merely summarize the case. It should identify key issues and problems, outline and assess alternative courses of action, and draw appropriate conclusions. The case study analysis can be broken down into the following steps:
1. Identify the most important facts surrounding the case.
2. Identify the key issue or issues.
3. Specify alternative courses of action.
4. Evaluate each course of action.
5. Recommend the best course of action.
Let's look at what each step involves.
1. Identify the most important facts surrounding the case.
Read the case several times to become familiar with the information it contains. Pay attention to the information in any accompanying exhibits, tables, or figures. Many case scenarios, as in real life, present a great deal of detailed information. Some of these facts are more relevant than others for problem identification. One can assume the facts and figures in the case are true, but statements, judgments, or decisions made by individuals should be questioned. Underline and then list the most important facts and figures that would help you define the central problem or issue. If key facts and numbers are not available, you can make assumptions, but these assumptions should be reasonable given the situation. The "correctness" of your conclusions may depend on the assumptions you make.
2. Identify the key issue or issues.
Use the facts provided by the case to identify the key issue or issues facing the company you are studying. Many cases present multiple issues or problems. Identify the most important and separate them from more trivial issues. State the major problem or challenge facing the company. You should be able to describe the problem or challenge in one or two sentences. You should be able to explain how this problem affects the strategy or performance of the organization.
You will need to explain why the problem occurred. Does the problem or challenge facing the company comes from a changing environment, new opportunities, a declining market share, or inefficient internal or external business processes? In the ...

each of the 5 Pillars (15 overall) to develop as EP2IC leaders.
ETHICAL
Leaders espouse humility, honesty, and ethical practices. They are committed to civic
engagement and dedicated service to others. Leaders have strong morals and put their
integrity ahead of personal or professional gains.
PURPOSEFUL
Leaders are flexible life-long learners who attack each day with purpose. They are
introspective and aware of personal strengths, weaknesses, beliefs, and
biases. Leaders’ honest self-understanding allows them to make meaningful life and
career decisions.
PROFESSIONAL
Leaders are polished individuals. They present strong personal brands, maximize
networking opportunities, and positively influence others. Leaders exhibit tact and
business savvy to skillfully navigate personal and organizational dynamics.
INCLUSIVE
Leaders are globally prepared individuals who value difference. They seek out diverse
team members and ensure inclusive environments where the convergence of cultures
and ideas drive innovation. Leaders work for positive change by recognizing and
addressing privilege, oppression, and systems of inequality in the world.
COLLABORATIVE
Leaders articulate compelling vision and inspire others. They draw from many
perspectives on leadership to guide their practice, using exceptional communication
skills, humor, and emotional intelligence to resolve conflicts and build relationships.
Leaders understand group dynamics, team-building, how to empower others, and solve
complex problems.
Final Paper (30 points) is due by 11:59 PM on Week #10.
In this assignment you will write a brief case study related to your specialization. Your task is to formulate an intervention plan / process based on your assessment of the problem/s. The case study should be one page or less single spaced, including both current presentation and related history.
Include the following in your intervention planning and implementation:
· Choose any evidence-informed intervention that we have studied to apply.
· Discuss assessment issues from the case study that have informed your decision around which evidence-informed intervention to choose. Why did you choose this type of intervention? What are other ways that you could intervene, and why did you not choose those options?
· Who would you include in the intervention process?
· Consider micro, mezzo and m.
During this module, the key features and main steps to analyze an incident using the comprehensive method will be described, discussed and applied. In addition, the tools that facilitate a comprehensive analysis will be introduced: the timeline, human factors, diagramming contributing factors and their interconnection (using the constellation diagram), guiding questions and the statements of findings.
Spry organizations need to have the option to quickly change on all fronts, including Marketing. Organizations are keen on advertising that is light-footed on the grounds that they trust it will assist them with conveying the correct components of the promoting blend at the perfect chance to impact the particular result they need to accomplish.

In social psychology, there is a subtopic known as social cognition. Social cognition’s main focus is on how individuals store, process and apply information concerning social situations and other people. It shows us the role of cognitive processing in our social interaction. In order for people to have the advantage of being part of certain social groups, various psychological processes have to take part and they are controlled by social cognition.
Various social signals are of importance to social cognition. These signals enable individuals to learn about the world that surrounds them. These signals include facial expressions such as disgust and fear which warn us of danger, as well as eye gaze direction which shows the direction of interesting things.

Strategic reversals are quite commonly failures of execution: a strategy is abandoned out of impatience or because of pressure for an instant payoff before it has had a chance to take root and yield results; or, its focal point is allowed to drift over time. To navigate a strategy, one must maintain a balance between strategizing and learning modes of thinking.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

A Guide to Effective Incident
Investigation
Olivier Serrat
2013
2. Tales of the Unexpected
One might think there are no
answers to the following
questions:
• How fast can you think on
your feet?
• How do you react in the
face of the unexpected?
How can you prepare if you
cannot predict?
And yet, there are: evidently,
some behaviors contribute to
the success or failure of
individuals—and
organizations—in specific
situations.
If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens,
how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.—
George Bernard Shaw
3. Tales of the Unexpected
Responses to the
unforeseen lie in
identifying before
the fact events or
circumstances, or
series of them, that
are outside the
range of ordinary
human
experiences.
Critical incidents
can be harvested to
provide a rich,
personal
perspective of life
that facilitates
understanding of
the issues and
obstacles people
face every now and
then.
Critical incidents
illuminate avenues
for improvement
(or replication if
outcomes are
effective)—avenues
that may not be
apparent through
purely quantitative
methods of data
collection.
4. Of Critical Incidents
A critical incident need not be spectacular: it suffices that it
should hold significance. As such, at the individual level, it can be
events or circumstances that made one stop and think, perhaps
revisit one's assumptions, or impacted one's personal and
professional learning. At the collective level, it can be a systemic
problem from organizational maladaptation, or an issue arising
from differences among stakeholders.
In short, an incident may be defined as critical when the
action(s) taken contributed to an effective or an ineffective
outcome. At heart, all incidents pertain to matters such as
culture, knowledge, competence, relationships, beliefs,
emotions, communication, or treatment.
5. The Critical Incident Technique
John Flanagan described the Critical Incident technique he
pioneered as "a set of procedures for collecting direct
observations of human behavior in such a way as to facilitate
their potential usefulness in solving practical problems and
developing broad psychological principles."
The Critical Incident technique seeks, largely through qualitative
processes of exploration and investigation, to identify actions
associated with effective or acceptable performance in defined
situations.
The analysis of a critical incident describes the setting in which
an incident occurred, the behavior (including the attitudes,
emotions, skills, knowledge, and resources) of the people
involved, and the outcome or result of the behavior.
6. The Critical Incident Technique
To kick off a Critical Incident technique intervention, it is
essential to agree on whether the issue meets
established critical incident criteria and then prepare a
clear, concise statement of the purpose of the
intervention.
If the issue meets the criteria can the agency secure
stakeholder support and capacities for an intervention?
Next, one must understand what core questions need to
be addressed, especially as this helps prioritize the
intervention and its expected impact against other
priorities.
7. The Critical Incident Technique
• What were the events or circumstances
that led to the critical incident?
• What were the behaviors of the agents
that made these (events or
circumstances) a critical incident?
• What were the outcomes of the critical
incident?
• What are the possible future outcomes if
behaviors remain unchanged? What are
the possible future outcomes if behaviors
change based on lessons learned?
Specifically, the
Critical Incident
technique asks:
8. The Critical Incident Technique,
Cont.
Does the issue meet
the critical incident
criteria? Is it a
critical incident?
Can you secure
stakeholder support
and capacities for
an intervention?
Decide on another
technique to
address the issue.
Decide on another
technique to
address the issue.
Identify the core
questions to be
answered.
NO
NO
YES
YES
9. The Critical Incident Technique
Hold the
intervention, collect
the data needed,
and analyze and
interpret it.
Design a strategy
and plan to solve
the problem with
inputs from relevant
parties.
Present the final
strategy and plan to

10. Pros and Cons of the Critical
Incident Technique
Some
advantages
of the Critical
Incident
technique are
that:
• It helps identify and analyze rare events
or circumstances that might not be
picked up by methods of investigation
dealing with everyday episodes. Its focus
on critical issues can bring major benefits.
• It maximizes the positive and minimizes
the negative attributes of anecdotes,
turning complex experiences into rich
data and information.
• It provides dramatic demonstrations of
the impact of behavior, whose cause and
severity may not have been known.
11. Pros and Cons of the Critical
Incident Technique
Other
advantages
are that:
• Critical incidents help gauge abstract
constructs such as motivation through their
demonstration in reported behavior.
• Critical incidents provide in-depth
information at a much lower cost and with
much greater ease than observation.
Some
limitations
of the
Critical
Incident
technique
are that:
• Critical incidents cast a personal
perspective on organizational issues.
(Reports of behavior are filtered through
the lens of individual perceptions, memory,
honesty, and bias.) Therefore, the Critical
Incident technique may need to be
combined with other methods of data
collection, analysis, and interpretation.
12. Pros and Cons of the Critical
Incident Technique
Other
limitations
of the
Critical
Incident
technique
are that:
• It cannot be assumed that people can and will
provide incidents that are critical to success in
their particular jobs—hence the need to
select critical incidents carefully—nor that
qualitative analysis alone is enough to clearly
identify the aptitudes, proficiencies, and
temperaments underlying success or failure.
• Some applications of the Critical Incident
technique take time: investigation of data and
information can be laborious.
• It may hard to entice people to share critical
incidents if the investigative approach
requires them to write their own stories.
