Crisis Leadership Simulation
Inhouse training
Are you prepared to respond to a crisis?
To create crisis preparedness, the different roles and processes should be practiced. This is very effective by running a simulation which is a major challenge with a high learning value for participants in understanding the importance of communication and transparency in times of crisis. The scenario follows a cyber attack, whereby the participants are challenged to manage the direct implications as well as the long-term impact on the business, such as limiting reputational damage.
Investing the time to practice responding to realistic scenarios enables companies to further identify gaps and strengths during “peace time”. Perhaps more importantly, both individuals and teams begin to build critical muscle memory that will carry them through a response to any crisis.
“No matter how difficult this turns out to be. Very well designed simulation game that immediately put you in a ‘real’ crisis. The input of Peter van Uhm was also very inspiring”

This course includes
We can offer the simulation in a classroom setting, but also in an online environment, involving stakeholders from different workforces. The exercise can be performed in 3-5 hours.
- Tailored scenarios and learning objectives;
- Learning and (optional) reporting (real-time coaching, post exercise report or improvement action plan based upon request);
- Tailored injects (e-mails, phone calls, social media posts, news videos, etc.); and
- Guidance and support during the exercise.
After the training
Our simulations provide effective learning environments because they are designed to be tailored to your capability, key objectives, and major challenges. Our exercises are designed to:
- Increase awareness of the impact of a crisis for the Leadership Team;
- Clarify structure, roles and responsibilities for crisis response;
- Develop values and principles that will guide future crisis response decisions;
- Raise awareness of the impact of your business threats; and
- Rehearse quality decision making and communication under pressure.
Target audience
The target audience will be defined according to the scenario, but it normally involves crisis response teams including leadership, communication managers, product managers and heads of (technical) departments. The simulation is targeted to the strategic and tactical levels of organizations.
Trainers
During the exercise, we have PwC professionals as facilitators with different backgrounds to provide greater value to the experience:
- Incident Response experts;
- Psychologists; and
- Optionally, Peter van Uhm (former Dutch Chief of Defence).
