Organizations must learn to thrive in our highly interdependent world, even as that world is changing more rapidly and in more unpredictable and uncontrollable ways. Organizations need to become much more situation aware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSituation awareness is a mainstay of air force and military doctrine, nuclear power plant management, aviation, and ERs, among others. These are all disciplines where mistakes in understanding a situation and predicting its outcome may not only be costly but also fatal. Top-Gun Governance adapts and scales insights and practices from the field of situation awareness to promote better sense making and prediction throughout your whole organization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than \"big data,\" this next-generation governance will help you challenge your decision-making biases, recognize when events and trends are breaking current rules and assumptions, and manage the changes they inevitably bring.
