Lagewerk · Crisis Team Simulation

Evidence and learning. A simulation that earns the name.

Lagewerk logs every decision, calculates its effect and delivers the complete evaluation on the same day. Whatever gaps it reveals, we then close with targeted training and e-learning.

The three steps
01

EXERCISE

Your crisis management team works on a scenario from your sector, under time pressure and with an incomplete picture.

02

EVALUATE

The complete evaluation is handed over at the end of the exercise day. Not in four weeks. On the same day.

03

CLOSE

The gaps identified are closed in a targeted way, through classroom training or e-learning from our own platform.

No script

Classic command post exercises follow a fixed schedule of injects. The outcome is determined in advance, the participants simply do not know it.

Lagewerk has no fixed sequence. The situation develops from what your team decides and from what it fails to do.

The same starting position can end completely differently in two runs. The outcome is open, including downwards.

Who evaluates

The assessment is shared, not left to a trainer’s judgement.

Free-text decisions by the team are assigned to a measure type automatically.

The effect on the situation is calculated, not estimated.

The exercise management only intervenes to correct, and every correction is logged visibly as a counter-entry, never as a silent overwrite.

This makes the result reproducible without becoming mechanical.

Who it is for

Mid-sized companies

You do not have a crisis management team. You have four people who have to decide when it matters.

In a production outage, an IT incident or a supply chain standstill, everyone looks to the management. The question is not whether a plan exists. The question is whether your leadership is able to act in the first hour.

Format: One day, four to eight people, your scenario. The complete evaluation is on the table the same evening.

What you will know afterwards:

Who actually decides in your organisation when things get tight
Where information gets stuck before it reaches the top
Which three decisions you should make immediately
Whether your existing plans hold up in an emergency
Large customers pass resilience requirements on to their suppliers. Anyone who cannot demonstrate preparedness becomes more expensive in the tendering process or drops out.

Critical infrastructure

Regulators and auditors do not ask about the experience, they ask for the evidence.

The usual exercise ends with a feeling and a report that arrives six weeks later. By then the impression has faded, the participants are back in day-to-day business, and the insight drains away.

Format: Two days, including design, with a scenario from your sector and same-day evaluation.

What you will have afterwards:

Identified gaps in alerting, escalation, decision authority and information flow
