The 'air gap' has quietly grown a WiFi point, for a contractor's convenience. The on-call rota lists two people who moved teams a year ago. Three options went to the board; the middle one won, the way it always does.

None of these is a technical problem, and none of them turns up in an awareness module. They turn up when someone has to act, quickly, inside the actual workflow, with the (executive) manager waiting. Those situations is what I build, so a team can play it before it plays them.

Rehearsals

Play the attacker. Play a defender. Work through a crisis. Explore a system that is too awkward, expensive or risky to experiment with live. Half a day for a role, a day for a team, a facilitated range. What leaves the room is a clearer picture of what happened, what made it possible, and what can change

Games and ranges

The pieces the rehearsals run on: a city in crisis, a plant with a vendor at the gate, a routing fabric that believes what it is told. Open source and playable on their own, or adapted to fit the problems in your context. Yours to keep after the session.

About

Technically fluent, organisationally alert, situationally paranoid. The person who sets up the room and then steps back. The interesting problems turn up where systems, people and pressure meet. A little laughter gives the brain oxygen.
Play it before it plays you
