The F.I.R.E.-Model: Focus – Intuition – Reflect – Ensure results

The F.I.R.E.-Model developed by Dr. Clemens Jüttner supports decision makers in difficult management decisions, and is based on his many years as a paramedic and the fire department’s head of operations. Decisions of rescuers and managers are always difficult to make when:

• there is not enough information,
• there are not enough resources,
• there is not enough time,
• wrong decisions are associated with high risk,
• one is under high physical or psychological stress.

Based on Dr. Jüttner’s experience, during his day and night job, he identified four key factors that he brought together in the F.I.R.E.-Model: to focus, use your intuition, reflect and ensure results. The Model helps decision makers improve the quality of their decisions in stressful situations.

For each key factor of the F.I.R.E.-Model, Dr. Jüttner presents some provocative theories that are supported by research results. He engages his audience and lets them actively participate in practical event demonstrations on stage. Mostly though he undermines his theories by using captivating, gripping and engaging examples from fire department and ambulance experiences. That way, his thought-provoking impulses about management and leadership under extreme conditions will remain a lively memory. And one thing is for sure: The audience won’t let anything go up in flames anymore.
