Summary

• The transfer of knowledge must be student
  centric and there is a cost
• The process of turning Lessons Identified into
  Lessons Learnt is difficult and must not be
  underestimated, but the rewards are great.
• Much good work has been done but often lacks
  coherence
• The size and scope of the challenge in bringing
  about coherence is significant and ever changing
• Emerging Technology points to the use of
  Reusable Content Objects as efficient, effective
  and economic solution
• Reusable Content Objects are not the panacea to
  all ills requires right culture and an
  understanding of effect required.

UK Resilience Joining up the Sectors
5 - 6 October 2006 RUSI, Whitehall, London, UK
An increasing array of threats and challenges,
from natural disasters to terrorist attacks,
requires co-ordinated crisis management in all
sectors of society. While both the public and
private sectors have made considerable progress
over the last two years, many challenges remain
for those seeking to build coherent cross-sector
emergency preparedness capabilities.
