Workshops

Workshops represent the second tier of exercises in the HSEEP building block approach. Although similar to seminars, workshops differ in two important aspects: participant interaction is increased and the focus is on achieving or building a product (e.g., plans and policies). Workshops provide an ideal forum for:

  • Collecting or sharing information
  • Obtaining new or different perspectives
  • Testing new ideas, processes, or
    procedures
  • Training groups to perform coordinated activities
  • Problem solving complex issues
  • Obtaining consensus
  • Building teams


Products that can be produced from a workshop include new SOPs or EOPs, mutual aid agreements, Multiyear Exercise Plans, and IPs that address the issues and recommendations from an AAR. To be effective, workshops must be highly focused on a specific issue, and the desired outcome (product) or goal must be clearly defined.
