About this template
The main aim of this OKR is to position the agency as top-tier 'Science First Responders'. This involves two key aspects; the training of team members and responding to actual crisis situations. Seventy percent of the team will be trained in advanced scientific first response techniques, equipping them with the necessary skills to handle any science-related emergencies.
Besides the training, the team is also tasked with responding and resolving 30 science crisis situations. The specific detail of each crisis is not mentioned, however, it is clear that an expectation exists for the team to able to successfully manage these incidents.
In addition to response action, proactive involvement in science safety is also highlighted. At least two new scientific emergency protocols have to be developed and implemented. These protocols lend a structural approach to handling emergencies, guiding members on the best procedures and actions to undertake.
Finally, the OKR emphasizes the importance of research, design, and enforcement. Researching current best practices, designing new emergency protocols, and communicating and enforcing these across all science departments are underlined as initiatives that help achieve the objective.
