The Wargaming Resilience Blueprint (WRB) is a modular, game-based approach that helps organisations to operationalise resilience, turning it from an abstract ambition into concrete interventions. It builds on peer-reviewed research and was developed iteratively with more than 270 practitioners from domains including aviation, public health and defence. Its output also feeds directly into the resilience plan required under the EU Critical Entities Resilience (CER) Directive.
The WRB Process: From Systems Analysis to Operational Resilience
Participants analyse how their organisations work and identify dependencies using systemic design practices (e.g. system mapping, gigamapping, causal loop diagrams).
Participants explore a range of looming stressors utilising foresight practices (e.g. scenario development, futures wheels).
Participants simulate interactions between their organisation and stressors through wargaming methodologies (e.g. seminar or matrix games).
Participants translate the findings of prior steps into concrete interventions (e.g. products, services, organisational processes).
Beyond operationalising resilience, the WRB builds a shared understanding among participants of their organisation and the stressors it faces. Its outputs also feed directly into compliance with the EU Critical Entities Resilience (CER) Directive.
