In this 90-minute, hands-on session, you’ll team up with fellow resilience professionals to tackle a high-stakes crisis scenario — no scripts, no corporate politics. Live AI facilitation will deliver real-time twists, simulate stakeholders, and adapt the story to your decisions. It’s your chance to ask the tough questions, test bold strategies, and explore “what-ifs” you can’t always raise at work — all while learning new ways AI can elevate crisis simulations.
