About this Presentation
The Goal Tree (GT) popularised by Dettmer, also known as a Strategic Intermediate Objectives Map, provides a very useful way of identifying the goal, together with the critical success factors and necessary conditions for achieving that goal. While it is most often used for an organisation or a department, it can also be used for a functional goal. In this paper, we will describe how a Goal Tree for a risk assessment was developed from the literature and then used to test the effectiveness (or otherwise) of risk assessments that had been performed in a well-publicised air crash case, along with 5 new cases and an online survey conducted as part of this research. Key elements required for an effective risk assessment were identified, and the utility of using a Goal Tree for this purpose is discussed. Video length: 53:37. PDF: 15 slides.
