Abstract: Abstract The fact that CCPR engaged in activities such as storytelling, dialogue and integrated experience appears neither accidental nor unique to the field of catastrophe preparedness. Our research indicates that from Aristotle’s time onward, attempts to develop the virtuous habit of practical wisdom have relied on such pedagogical methods. As we will see, the activity of play itself may be the most natural way for people in organizations to develop practical wisdom.
