Anecdote • The G-1 immediately took steps to include variance analyses like the one you developed • At the next meeting one General Officer expressed surprise at “his” variance. • He said he had never seen it before and couldn’t explain it. • How should the G-1 react? • What should the G-1 expect?
Optional Exercise • Break into teams and brainstorm scenarios where this approach could be applied to meetings in which team members currently participate • Pick one and brief it to the class in a slide or two
