Compare: John Harper’s new diagram
Once I had this diagram, I was able to see all the parts, and begin assigning authority and game tasks to each part. Who says what the Situation is? How does a Scene relate to Situation? Who says when a Scene begins and ends? Who says when a conflict begins and ends? How do you know when a situation is “resolved” and how does that resolution supply material for the new Situation? All that kind of stuff.
Contrast: FEMA strategy
“This chart, clearly depicting the agencies responsibilities in the event of a disaster….It begins with a response to a disaster, leads to recovery, mitigation, risk reduction, prevention, preparedness…(dramatic pause) and ends up BACK IN DISASTER!…In truth, FEMA did exactly what they said they were going to do.” – John Stewart
