Prepare your role in a P-DRIVEN cycle, from activation through decisions to handover. Define what you contribute, the authority you have and how you respond when the situation changes.
In this planned self-study preparation, work on an organisational case or an example case as an Owner, a role responsible for implementation or a clearly defined support role. Place your mandate within the four phases and 16 steps, define decision rights and limits, and record your contributions to activation, decisions and handover. Substantive decisions remain separate from the Facilitator’s responsibility for the process.
Improve a case handover that initially says only “complete the action”, adding the assignment, receiving role, situation context, deadline and feedback if obstacles arise. Explanatory case solutions and self-check criteria help you identify missing information and revise your records. If the situation changes, consider whether priorities and handover communication need to change and give reasons for your adjustments.
What you will work on
Define an individual role contribution within the P-DRIVEN sequence
Document activation, decision and handover contributions
Improve a formally complete but substantively unusable handover
Who it is for
P-DRIVEN Foundation participants
Prospective Owners or implementation leads
Prospective crisis team contributors
Topics
Four phases and 16 steps from a role perspective
Owner, implementation and support contributions
Activation and decision records
Accepting the assignment and handover communication
Handover with missing information and limits of self-checking
Your result
Take away your prepared contributions to activation, decisions and handover as a basis for the separate practical exercise.
Prerequisites
The intended Practitioner pathway requires Foundation. For the self-study preparation, you need a basic understanding of the four phases and 16 steps. For an organisational case, you need access to role and process information; otherwise, use an example role case.
Format and approach
The planned self-study preparation takes 6–8 hours. Practical exercise and artefact assessment belong to the separate assessment pathway and are not included in these hours. The planned self-study format uses explanatory case solutions and self-checks rather than personal feedback.
Organisational use of P-DRIVEN requires a separate usage agreement. For one named organisation with one internal crisis team of up to twelve people, one person with a current Practitioner qualification is sufficient. The roadmap to three certified people applies only when the scope is expanded. Course participation alone does not grant organisational usage rights.
Planned learning time: 6–8 hours of self-study preparation; practical assessment separate
When preparing a crisis exercise, you need to decide who makes substantive decisions and who guides the process. P-DRIVEN Foundation introduces four phases and 16 steps. Assign the roles for a case and prepare an initial exercise.
Guide a team through a P-DRIVEN cycle while the Owner makes the substantive decisions. In observed exercises, you receive feedback and improve your approach. Practical assessment, oral review and accepted references are separate requirements for the qualification.
Prepare a situation briefing, compare options and make a decision as the Owner. If the Facilitator challenges a departure from the P-DRIVEN process, explain and record how you respond.
