What is a Good Briefing Statement?

by | Mar 1, 2023

Here is an acronym you may not have come across before SMEAC.

S  =  Situation
M = Mission
E =  Execution
A =  Any questions
C =  Check understanding

This is a very simple yet effective catch-all briefing template, which can be refined or augmented as required. Try it and let me know your thoughts.

Situation:
Provides the context for the task and answers the question of ‘why’.

Mission:
The statement of the mission should align with all the comments about the definition of the aim and objectives.

Execution:
This describes the plan to achieve the outcome.

Any questions:
Always allow time in your briefing for questions.

Check understanding:
Always ask a few pertinent questions of those involved to confirm that their understanding is the same as yours.
