Briefs

Briefs are short gatherings of team members, prior to the start of a shift, or an event, or activity that focuses on
anticipation and planning.

These sessions, as their name suggests, are meant to be brief, concise and empowering.

They serve to:

• Unite the team
• Assign/designate team roles and responsibilities
• Establish the desired climate, expectations and goals
• Address likely contingencies

Use of a check-list can help to maximize efficiency during a brief.

Effective teams organize themselves in anticipation of the activities and events they will face.
