Our Wargaming Design Course is a one- or multi-day workshop designed to help organisations understand, develop, and apply bespoke wargaming methods for training, exercising, and decision support. Delivered by experienced professionals in resilience, planning, and game-based learning, this course provides a practical introduction to how tailored wargames can be used to explore challenges, test plans, and improve organisational readiness.
 
The course is built around your organisation’s needs, allowing the content to be customised to your sector, objectives, and operational context. Whether you are looking to create an internal training tool, develop an exercise format for complex scenarios, or explore how structured wargaming could support planning and decision-making, the workshop is designed to give you a clear and useful foundation.
 
Participants will learn how wargames are designed, what makes them effective, and how they can be adapted to reflect real organisational pressures, stakeholder dynamics, and operational constraints. Sessions can cover core design principles, player roles, objectives, decision-making structures, scenario building, game mechanics, and how to align a wargame to specific learning or exercise outcomes.
 
This workshop can be used as a standalone fact-finding and capability-building session to help your organisation understand where wargaming could add value. It can also serve as the first stage in a wider development process, acting as the foundation and deposit point for a fully bespoke wargame designed and produced for your organisation.
 
Ideal for organisations seeking a more engaging, practical, and decision-focused approach to training and exercising, this course helps turn wargaming from an abstract concept into a tailored method that can support real outcomes.
