  "summary": "A crisis plan allocates responsibilities, but does not guarantee that teams can work together when the unexpected happens. Research invites us to examine coordination beyond the organisational chart.",

      "heading": "1. What the literature establishes: a plan alone cannot sustain shared understanding",
      "point": "Karl E."
    },
    {
      "heading": "2. A complementary mechanism: coordinating expertise, not just positions",
      "point": "Samer Faraj and Yan Xiao (2006, Management Science) study coordination in a trauma centre facing situations that demand a rapid response."
    },
    {
      "heading": "3. The hasty conclusion: replacing procedures with improvisation",
      "point": "One might conclude that a competent team should be able to dispense with any framework during a crisis."
    },
    {
      "heading": "4. The limits: specific settings, not validation for Vaud",
      "point": "A retrospective disaster analysis and an organisational study in trauma care do not establish a universal recipe for businesses in Vaud."

      "heading": "5. A practical check in Lausanne",
      "point": "In Lausanne, a possible exercise for SHR's [crisis management](/formation-gestion-de-crise-lausanne) programme would simulate the unavailability of a platform supplied by a Lake Geneva region scale-up during an event involving a university, a medtech company and an international sports organisation: this is a hypothetical scenario, not a client case."
