A lot of times, we go to a call with the aim to just get it taken care of. We don’t think of what our goals should be. Nothing is necessarily wrong, but see the bottom of the scenario sheet for the official identified goals.  Think about the four-step process…what might this look like for this scenario? What kinds of things may happen that could change the process?  Have a discussion about hooks and triggers. Ask the participants what they think could be hooks and triggers based on what they have been told. See the scenario sheet for identified hooks and triggers.  What resources are available for you to utilize?  Any other questions…  If you have time, you could facilitate a modified role play of the scenario. The idea behind the discussion is to dig in deep to the meat of the scenario and get them thinking about goals, resources, tactics. Feel free to use your own approach.

The rest of the information is for you to know to guide the discussion. Please Note: As you will see, when we role play this scenario, it runs twice.
