Resilience, continuity and crisis

One of the ways in which games and exercises can have the most significant impact on organisations is in the area of developing resilience. This is particularly relevant to teams facing change and trying to cope with uncertainty.

We work on developing resilience through a number of approaches.

Individual Resilience

Individual resilience is a difficult quality to develop quickly, but we can help to build confidence and encourage a mindset which recognises that setbacks and shifts in direction should be expected and prepared for rather than feared.

Team Resilience

Organisations and the teams which make them up are easier places for us to develop resilience, by building mutual trust and confidence. Closely linked to Team Building, we use games and exercises which focus on Decision Making, particularly when things do not go as expected; by making everybody feel just a little uncomfortable, we can prepare them to be ready for the impact of real-world challenges and frustrations.

Resilient Plans & Strategies

Finally, we can run bespoke games and exercises to make sure that plans and strategies have their own resilience. Depending on the time and resource available, this can include scenario-based games to truly understand the situation, tabletop exercises to develop the plan and then live rehearsals to make sure everyone understands what is required of them and what contingencies need to be in place and ready.
