Frequently Asked Questions

What can be trained within social media crisis simulation?

In a social media crisis simulation, participants consciously put themselves in an extreme situation in order to experience first-hand what it means to be confronted with a flood of negative comments. At the same time, the focus can be placed on specific areas such as community management or team collaboration.

How many people can participate in a social media crisis simulation?

For the social media crisis simulation, we recommend a group size of at least five to a maximum of 20 people. At your request, we can also conduct a social media crisis simulation with more than 20 participants.

How long does a social media crisis simulation take?

A social media crisis simulation usually takes two to four hours. However, if needed, we can shorten or extend the time frame of your simulation.

How much preparation time is required to conduct a social media crisis simulation?

For the preparation, you should allow a period of at least four weeks from the first kick-off meeting to the actual implementation of the social media crisis simulation.

I already have an exact training scenario in mind – can this be trained?

You can train any scenario in our virtual training environment. If you already have a specific crisis case in mind, our experts will work out the scenario accordingly.

Is it possible to have a look at the virtual training environment in advance?

Yes, we would be happy to demonstrate our software to you in a demo session. Please contact us directly for this purpose.

I am unsure whether a social media crisis simulation is the right format for my requirements.

If you are unsure which simulation format is right for you, feel free to contact us and together we will find the best possible solution for your ideas.

Is it possible to run a social media crisis simulation as a team event or at an industry association meeting?

A social media crisis simulation strengthens your crisis competence, team cohesion and is also a lot of fun due to our gamification approach. This makes the format ideal for team events, association meetings, conferences or similar events.
