Crisis simulation
training and exercises

Driven by the idea that you learn best by doing, we have made crisis simulation our signature.

Tailor-made exercises, offset exercises, mediatrainings, participative conferences… We offer you a wide range of possibilities for training and coaching your teams in crisis management and communication.

Crisotech is certified by Qualiopi for its various training courses.

The quality certification was awarded under the following category: L6313-1-1° training actions.

Tailor-made exercises

Crisotech develops fictitious crisis scenarios in which you play an active role in crisis management. Each scenario incorporates dozens or even hundreds of inputs at all levels (tactical, operational, strategic), making the exercises particularly dynamic and recreating real-world conditions on a variety of themes (cyber crisis, industrial accident, terrorism, natural disaster, social crisis, etc.).

We only design training modules that we would like to take ourselves. To put an end to “classroom” training, our modules place the learner at the heart of the action.

During crisis simulation exercises, each participant has the opportunity to become aware of the issues at stake:

shared trust,
stress management,
or decision-making in an emergency.

We create and run different types of crisis simulation exercises:

FIELD EXERCISES

These exercises allow organizations to test procedures such as evacuations, lockdowns, or cooperation with internal security forces and emergency services.

"MAJOR" EXERCISES

Major exercises test the coordination and sharing of information between organizations or between entities within an organization. We multiply animation channels (SMS, calls, emails, intranets, dedicated software, etc.).

“RESTRICTED” EXERCISES

The ‘small’ exercises pay particular attention to the internal organization of the crisis unit, the processes of sharing tasks, sorting information and decision-making.

SIMULATED MEDIA PRESSURE EXERCISES (PMS)

Integrating the pressure of journalists, simulating social networks, adding the pressure of the continuous news channels, publishing hundreds of press articles… Crisotech has developed unique expertise in designing and animating simulated media pressure on exercises, with the goal of training communication cells.

STOP&GO EXERCISES

In stop&go exercises, trainers present one stage of a crisis situation and allow participants to think in sub-groups before moving on to the next stage. Several round trips between sub-groups and plenary allow exchanges between members of a crisis cell by debriefing immediately with the trainer present in the room.

OFFSET EXERCISES

“Offset” exercises are based on a completely fictitious environment. The participants went beyond their usual framework and simulated the crisis cell of an organization that they are not familiar with, with completely different professions and issues. The goal is to get participants out of their comfort zone and out of their business reflexes to better focus on the fundamentals of organizing a crisis unit.

Focus on the cyber crisis exercise

Preparing for a cyber crisis is no longer an option. We offer you a 360° approach so that you can react quickly on the day the crisis occurs, without panicking and in compliance with your insurance and legal obligations.

Training adapted to the experience of the participants

We have developed a large library of training courses on crisis management and crisis communication issues for audiences discovering these issues as well as for more experienced people. They can range from general awareness of the fundamentals of crisis management to more specific and detailed aspects (information sharing, decision making, handwriting, cognitive biases, stress management, etc.). They may concern the fundamentals of crisis communication as more technical elements (management of social networks in crisis, addressing distrust of organizations, setting up an effective crisis communication strategy, etc.).

Mediatraining

We offer our customers training in how to speak out in the media, both in times of crisis and out of crisis. These courses can be run “cold” as part of an ongoing process, or “hot off the press” to prepare for a specific interview or respond to a real crisis.

Theoretical contributions on the workings of the media, the profession of journalist and the role of spokesperson are immediately put into practice through individual and group practical exercises.

How do I prepare for an interview?
Is my message getting across to the journalist?
How can I be educational and expert at the same time?
Are there any tips to reduce the stress level of the spokesperson?

These are just some of the questions to which we provide personalised answers in our mediatraining courses.

TV set

For training in real-life conditions, as part of crisis simulation exercises or mediatraining, our facilities, located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, include :

professional cameras,
microphones,
lighting kits,
TV mixer,
mixing desk
and audio and video monitors.

It perfectly recreates the atmosphere and organisation of a real TV studio.
