Your organisation already holds valuable resilience information: processes, dependencies, response and recovery plans, risks, controls, contacts, suppliers, incidents and actions. Yet too often, crisis exercises are built manually, based on generic scenarios, and disconnected from the operational reality teams need to test.

Join Craig Goldberg, CEO & Founder of Battleground, and Eli Goldberg, Head of Battleground UK & EMEA, for a practical webinar on using your existing operational data to design and run more relevant, interactive crisis simulations.

Battleground will demonstrate how Battleground Live turns connected resilience data into an immersive exercise environment. See first-hand how teams can build scenario timelines, introduce realistic injects, test decision-making as events escalate, and capture actions, observations and improvement opportunities in real time.

Rather than running a one-off tabletop exercise that ends in a static report, organisations can create a repeatable process for scenario planning, exercising and continuous improvement. Teams can test how a disruption affects their own operations, dependencies, people, technology, suppliers and customer commitments, with a clear connection back to the plans, controls and accountable owners that matter.

What you’ll take away

• A practical approach to using existing resilience and operational data to build realistic crisis scenarios.
• How to create an interactive, time-based exercise timeline that reflects how an incident may develop.
• Ways to introduce relevant injects, decision points and escalating impacts to test teams under pressure.
• How to connect scenarios to your organisation’s operations, dependencies, suppliers, risks, plans and controls.
• A more immersive way to test whether response arrangements work in practice, not just on paper.
• How to capture decisions, actions, lessons and gaps during an exercise, creating an evidence-led record of performance.
• A repeatable process for scenario planning and simulation that supports continuous resilience improvement.
• Practical ideas for using exercise outcomes to prioritise investment, strengthen readiness and inform executive reporting.

Why it matters

A meaningful exercise should do more than confirm that a plan exists. It should help people understand what they need to do, identify where dependencies may fail and reveal the decisions that will be required when time, information and resources are limited.

By building simulations from the information already held in Battleground Live, organisations can move away from generic, disconnected exercises and towards scenarios that are specific to their own operating environment. The outcome is a more credible test of readiness, clearer evidence of where improvements are needed and a stronger basis for action after the exercise.
