Pulling It All Together, End-to-End

Abstract

In this concluding chapter, we emphasise the performance of the whole chain. We look at fire warnings as an effective system to see what we can learn from them. We see that each step in the chain is important but that the bridges are at least as important as each of the steps. Partnership is key to the effectiveness of each bridge and is also crucial for the overall chain. Understanding the way in which value propagates up and down the chain can enable improvements to be targeted in the most beneficial places. We conclude with a summary of some attributes of the “perfect” warning chain.
