Crisis War Gaming, Tabletop Exercises and CMT Simulations
Experience real-world crisis scenarios with our comprehensive war gaming simulations and tabletop exercises. Test your crisis management plan in advance!
The real test is in the application
Feeling uncertain about a future crisis? Sleep soundly with a well-tested crisis management plan. Simulations are a powerful tool to build confidence in your plan. Effective simulations go beyond basic drills and challenge your leadership (board and C-Suite) along with the entire organisation.
The best simulations feel real. Participants should feel immersed in the scenario and learn valuable lessons afterwards. A good simulation isn’t just about the worst-case scenario, but rather about asking and answering tough questions. It considers both internal and external impacts, mimicking the chaos of a real crisis with incomplete information and conflicting priorities.
Preparation is key. Simulations can explore various scenarios, from strategic risks to immediate incidents. The trigger could be anything from technical failure to natural disasters. The more effort you put into customising the simulation, the better prepared you’ll be for a real crisis. This translates to better individual preparedness, improved processes, stronger teams, and overall confidence. Your team will be faster to react, more equipped to handle the situation, and ready to mobilise resources for recovery.

Cyber Attack
Governments, manufacturers, and critical infrastructure providers – those entities managing electric grids, manufacturing plants, upstream oil and gas facilities, or nuclear power facilities – need to understand both the possible impacts of an attack, as well as the best practices to mitigate associated risks. War gaming provides a methodology for probing and assessing current crisis response capabilities.
Pandemic
A war game is an effective tool for assessing immediate crisis response capabilities. But as organisations have experienced throughout the current environment, it’s not only the response but the ability to maintain the mission in the face of deteriorating conditions that demonstrates an organisation’s resiliency. It is imperative to test and stress an organisation’s response and continuity plans during a war game.
High-value Physical Infrastructure Construction
A wargame with an immersive scenario that includes a dynamic and free-thinking adversary, with capabilities greater than prevailing biases and assumptions allow, could force organisations to confront undesirable and unintended consequences, yielding insights that can enable better preparation and anticipation of future crises and risks.
Don't jump straight into a crisis scenario!
Start with a clear goal. What kind of crisis are you trying to prepare for? How do you want your organisation to be perceived after overcoming it? Having a defined objective allows you to create a scenario that helps achieve it.
Remember, even though the situation is fictional, the impact is real. Your crisis response can significantly affect your reputation, which can be worth up to 25% of your market value! With an average organisation facing a major crisis at least every five years, crisis simulation is not an optional exercise. While some companies haven’t adopted this strategy yet, more and more are realising the value of testing their plans for real-world preparedness.

Building a Crisis Management Plan for Success
The clock is always ticking. You never know when a sudden turn of events will thrust your organisation into the spotlight, demanding its absolute best. It could erupt into a media firestorm, splashed across every front page. Or, it could be a quiet, but no less damaging struggle, an internal crisis only your team is aware of. Regardless of its form, a crisis is an inevitable moment of truth. It’s a crucible that tests your readiness, your ability to weather the storm, and the very core of your organisation’s character.
At Crises Control, we understand the weight of this responsibility. We don’t believe in waiting for disaster to strike. We believe in proactive preparation. That’s why we offer a comprehensive suite of services designed to help your organisation not just survive a crisis, but emerge stronger than ever before.
Our team of crisis management experts will work hand-in-hand with you to develop a watertight plan, one that anticipates potential threats and outlines clear steps for effective response. But a plan on paper is only the first step. To truly be prepared, you need to put your strategy to the test. That’s where our crisis war gaming simulations come in. These immersive exercises will simulate real-world crisis scenarios, allowing your leadership team and staff to practice their roles, identify potential weaknesses, and refine your response plan in a safe, controlled environment.
Don’t wait for a crisis to expose your vulnerabilities. Take charge of your organisation’s future. Contact Crises Control today and let us help you build resilience, confidence, and a crisis management plan that’s truly battle-tested.
