Friday 23 October, 08:30-16:30 BST

Resilience First members are invited to take part in our flagship event, Wargame: Not Business as Usual, devised by Resilience First and supported by Sky News.

​Resilience starts with making the right strategic choices. The Wargame will explore this hypothesis in the world as it is today.

Deborah Haynes, Defence and Security Editor at Sky News and Creator of the Wargame podcast, which simulates a fictional Russian attack on the United Kingdom to test national defences and resilience, will provide keynote remarks and join the event.

The Wargame is being designed by experts and is set in a world where a hostile nation-state seeks to undermine the social cohesion and economic base of the UK, with a particular focus on a critical business sector.

Through role-play, and as part of a team of senior resilience leaders from across sectors, you will:

  • Make strategic choices
  • Present an Analyst Brief
  • Respond to consequences

This highly interactive, in-person event reframes resilience in today’s world and supports the UK’s national resilience agenda.


This is exclusively for Resilience First members. If you are interested in participating, please email Swaraj Parameswaran at contact@resiliencefirst.co.uk for an invitation.
