🔍 Key Concepts

• Principles of effective maritime decision-making and bridge resource management (BRM) • Balancing thoroughness with time and resource limits when developing options • Risk management: avoiding both too few and unrealistically many options

💭 Think About

• If you only develop one alternative, what does that do to your ability to compare risks and benefits? • In an operational environment with time pressure, is it realistic or helpful to try to think of every possible alternative? • What would be a practical approach that gives you real choices, but still lets you decide in a timely manner?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any choice that clearly prevents comparison between different options • Eliminate any choice that suggests unlimited or unrealistic effort in generating options • Ask: does this choice support a structured, practical decision in real shipboard conditions?
