Well considered crisis management and business continuity planning can prove to be a lifesaver when turmoil erupts and should form part of every organisation’s operating model. It helps to be wise and take a proactive approach before the event, not a reactive one after.
However, even the best laid plans can come unstuck during a crisis. Do you have clear lines of accountability for decision making or communications? Do you have a clear list of organisational priorities?
Your teams need to be able to cope with a crisis and learn how to do this even better the next time. This is valuable experience for any organisation, especially for those that are both diverse and dispersed.
The Covid-19 pandemic is a familiar backdrop we’re using to test specific objectives, including the ability to respond to multiple crises.
Watch our generic crisis scenario, which is in an immersive exercise that tests your skills as a crisis management team in the middle of a new Covid-19 outbreak.
Helping you prepare for a crisis
Our crisis simulation tool enables you, either on your own or with experienced support, to understand how your organisation would cope. The online tool facilitates virtual and, where necessary, global discussions so that you do not have to wait for a crisis to assess results.
The facilitated simulation also ensures you receive feedback on how you might have planned and reacted in a more effective way. This allows you to make sure that plans and teams are fully functional.
Our generic simulation is designed alongside industry leaders and available at a fraction of the cost of similar crisis management tools. You can also work with us to create a bespoke simulation that is highly specific to your business.
Train your teams with a dynamic simulation
We appreciate that designing a crisis scenario for a desktop exercise or simulation can be difficult. You want it to be engaging and challenging, whilst ensuring that your crisis exercise objectives are being met.
Our BW Crisis Simulation Tool allows you to do just that, using realistic scenarios and behaviour-led learning techniques to ensure you are prepared as possible for unexpected events.
We have developed a cost effective generic scenario so you can train your teams immediately. For more information on the generic scenario, please see our FAQs.
You may also have specific objectives, teams, and situations that you would like to test. We can work with you to design and produce a bespoke simulation that suits your organisation’s needs.
For further information on either the generic or bespoke scenarios, you can contact our team.
