Planning an Design
This phase begins with a targeted training needs analysis to identify gaps in knowledge, capability, and organisational readiness. We work closely with you to clarify objectives, what needs to be trained, for whom, and why, ensuring that each programme is purpose-driven. Whether designing a one-off exercise or a scalable, repeatable training programme, we tailor the format, style, and complexity to match your organisation’s specific needs. Securing leadership buy-in is central to success, enabling time, support, and engagement across teams to make training both impactful and valued.
​
​With clear objectives and a defined audience, we begin by designing a prototype training or exercise scenario, typically within two weeks. This draft is reviewed in collaboration with your internal sponsor to ensure alignment with the intended outcomes. ​
Following feedback, we iterate and refine the design, finalising all delivery details including location, required personnel, supporting materials, and any necessary pre-work. Our goal is to ensure a seamless, effective experience that meets both operational needs and learning objectives.
Development and Preparation
Delivery
​​
Training sessions and exercises are designed to be grounded in leading practices from professional wargaming, ensuring each activity is tailored, interactive, and engaging. The approach fosters active participation, making the learning experience both memorable and meaningful.
​
Additionally, every session is supported by experienced facilitators, ensuring smooth delivery, real-time guidance, and effective participant engagement throughout the exercise.
​​
Following every training session or exercise, we conduct a structured debrief to capture immediate feedback, lessons learned, and any issues encountered during delivery. This is complemented by a post-event survey to gather participant insights and assess overall effectiveness.
​
All findings are reviewed and used to inform future planning, ensuring each iteration builds on the last, and continuously enhances the value and impact of the training programme for your organisation.
