Which is a plan ex tip for OASC?

• A. Bring Others In
• B. Ignore Contingents
• C. Exclude Contingents
• D. Dismissing Contingents

Answer: (A)

In planning exercises, collaboration and inclusion of diverse input are essential. Bringing others in expands the range of perspectives, helps validate assumptions, and uncovers contingencies you might miss on your own. In an OASC plan exercise, showing you can quickly bring in relevant teammates—subject matter experts, operators, support staff—demonstrates leadership by coordinating, communicating, and integrating inputs into a coherent plan. It also builds buy-in and distributes responsibility, making the plan more robust and executable under pressure.

Ignoring, excluding, or dismissing contingents tends to shut down useful information, creates blind spots, erodes trust, and increases the risk the plan will fail when real-world variables appear. So the best approach is to involve others early, identify who should contribute, set clear objectives, and establish a review process to refine the plan.
