AUTHENTIK CONSULTING AND TRAINING

A Different Perspective that Delivers

Book a Call

Crisis Simulations that stress test your team before a real incident does it for you.

Not a slide deck. Not a script. Authentik Tabletops are interactive, scenario-driven simulations with robust gamification. Built to help teams think on their feet, decide fast, and learn safely.

Book a TabletopSee How It Works

  • Executives & Leadership Teams

    Pressure-test decision making, role clarity, and communication. Make sure your leadership team stays aligned when it matters most.

  • People, Risk, & Operations Leaders

    Identify real-world failure points across policy, people, and operations, so you can fix them while you have the gift of time.

  • Frontline Incident Response Teams

    Build confidence through practice. Improve coordination, escalation pathways, and situational awareness across roles.

What You Get

  • A bespoke, tailored scenario: Built around your real-world risks, roles, and operating context.
  • Pre-assessment of critical crisis skills: Teams get gamified advantages based on actual skills and abilities.
  • A facilitated tabletop session: High engagement to keep people thinking on their feet throughout the scenario.
  • Realistic injects and decision points: Test responses to escalation and complexity with in-game reactions to the choices made.
  • A structured debrief: Create a culture of risk communication with facilitated debriefs.
  • A concise after-action briefing: 1–2 pages you can use to guide iterative improvement.

Capabilities We Test

  • Role Clarity & Decision Rights: Who decides what, and when?
  • Escalation and Handoffs: When does a problem become an incident, and who owns it then?
  • Communications under uncertainty: Public affairs, internal efficacy, and importantly - what to say (and what not to say) when.
  • Coordination across teams: Operations, people managers, comms, leadership, all working as one system.
  • Situational Awareness: What you know, what you don't, and how to fill the gaps quickly.
  • Team strengths in action: A quick skill check shows who’s best at what so the team can play to strengths and coordinate smarter.
  • Recovery Planning: What back to stable actually looks like.

How it Works

Fast to book. Custom to your risks. Built for real-world decision pressure.

  1. 1) Quick Context Call (30 minutes)

    We learn about your environment, your team structure, and what you want to stress-test.

  2. 2) Skill Assessment & Scenario Creation

    Participants do a short pre-assessment (your “character sheet”) so we can design a scenario that fits your team and reveals how strengths combine under pressure.

  3. 3) Live Simulation

    We run the scenario with realistic injects and time pressure. Outcomes reflect both skill and uncertainty, because even great plans don’t always survive contact with reality.

  4. 4) Debrief & After-Action Plan

    You get a robust debrief, clear strengths and gaps, and a practical plan to close the gaps at a systems level. Your team's performance improves long-term, not just for the day.
