Cyberattack, Backlash, or Strike
Suddenly, It’s Here: The Crisis

Your Crisis Team Gathers. Chaos Erupts, and Tension Fills the Air.

It quickly becomes obvious that key information is missing from the crisis manual. The team is overwhelmed, established processes are scrapped, and the situation rapidly escalates.

Fortunately, This Scenario Wasn’t Real.
It Was Just A Simulation.

But what if it were real? Poor preparation can have devastating consequences — lost revenue, reputational damage, and high employee turnover can push your organization even further into crisis.

Crises Are Manages by People
Not by Playbooks

A Crisis Simulation Boosts Readiness Across Your Entire Organization.

In our training sessions, we work together through a realistic crisis scenario — safely and securely using our dedicated crisis simulator. This approach lets you spot weaknesses early and fine-tune your processes before a real crisis occurs.

After A Crisis Simulation, You’re Not Just Prepared — You’re Truly Confident In Managing Crises.

Developed by crisis management experts, our tool enables hands-on, comprehensive preparation for real-world emergencies. With realistic scenarios and innovative features, we’re setting new standards in crisis simulation.

A Single Simulation Builds Capability from Day One

FAQ

How does your crisis simulation differ from traditional crisis exercises?

Our crisis simulations offer an interactive and highly realistic experience that goes far beyond conventional exercises. While traditional crisis exercises are often limited to theoretical discussions and static scenarios, our simulations immerse participants in tailored situations that reflect the real challenges and dynamics of a crisis.

Isn’t a tabletop exercise enough?

Tabletop exercises are useful for conveying theoretical knowledge and practicing basic procedures. However, they fall short when it comes to simulating real-world crisis situations. Our simulations offer a more in-depth, hands-on experience, allowing participants to make realistic decisions in a safe environment and test their responses under pressure.

What’s the difference between a tabletop exercise and an interactive crisis simulation?

A tabletop exercise is usually a theoretical discussion of crisis scenarios without simulating real stress situations. Our interactive simulation exposes participants to real decision-making processes, enabling a practical and immersive experience.

How realistic are the crisis simulations?

Our crisis simulations are designed to be extremely realistic, offering participants an authentic experience. They are based on relevant risks and real stakeholders. Participants experience the dynamics and complexity of a crisis as it would unfold in their own organization, allowing them to test their abilities and reactions under real conditions.

I haven’t established crisis management yet. Is a simulation still right for me?

Our simulations are perfect even for organizations without established crisis management. They offer an excellent opportunity to gain first-hand experience and build an effective crisis team. Simulations help identify weaknesses and provide valuable insights into improving structures and processes.

What types of crises are suitable for the simulation?

Our exercises cover a wide range of crisis scenarios. We design a tailored scenario based on your specific requirements, aligned with your company’s unique needs and challenges.

Who facilitates the training?

Our trainings are conducted by experienced crisis managers and experts. They guide participants through the simulation, offer valuable insights, and support the analysis and improvement of your crisis management processes.

How much preparation time is required?

From the initial kick-off to the actual simulation, we typically need about six weeks. The effort on your end is minimal, making implementation quick and straightforward.

Are the crisis simulations suitable for all employees?

Yes, our simulations are designed for participants at all levels. From leadership teams to operational staff, everyone can gain valuable experience and insights that are crucial in real crises.

What’s the difference between a traditional emergency drill and a crisis simulation?

Emergency drills usually focus on specific actions like evacuation or IT incident plans. Our crisis simulations go further by integrating strategic, communicative, and organizational aspects. You experience decision-making under pressure and test your crisis management in a realistic setting.

How can business continuity training help prepare my company for crises?

Business continuity training helps you identify critical business processes and develop strategies to maintain operations. Our simulations allow you to test and refine these strategies in realistic scenarios.

How often should an organization conduct emergency or continuity training?

Ideally, at least once a year. Regular simulations help optimize processes and raise crisis awareness across the organization.

Can a crisis simulation be combined with a tabletop exercise?

Yes, we offer hybrid formats that start with a tabletop exercise as a theoretical introduction and are followed by a practical crisis simulation. This approach prepares your team for a variety of scenarios.

Which organizations benefit most from a crisis simulation?

Any organization can benefit—especially those with critical business processes, complex crisis structures, or high continuity demands.

What role does crisis communication play in an emergency drill?

Effective communication is key in any emergency. Our simulations help teams practice realistic crisis communication, avoiding misunderstandings and misinformation during real events.
