A Scenario Exercise simulates a crisis or disruption using a custom-built scenario designed around your real threat landscape. We guide teams through the response with live facilitation, dynamic injects, and structured debriefs. You’ll test your plan, practice your communication, and uncover blind spots, all in a session that’s immersive, challenging, and grounded in your actual risk profile.
We don’t do off-the-shelf. Every exercise is researched, designed, and delivered by our team, from scenario concept to post-exercise reporting. We’ve run sessions involving execs, boards, third parties, and even emergency services. Our goal isn’t to catch people out, it’s to bring them together. Fixinc exercises create clarity, drive learning, and build confidence no matter how complex the scenario.
