What we do

The best way to learn is through experience. It is only by experiencing a crisis that you truly find the break points in your plans and processes. Far better to do that in a closed environment than with the eyes of the world watching.

A Polpeo crisis simulation lets you experience a crisis in a safe space, before you have to manage the real thing.

Stress test your crisis plan

Our crisis simulations stress test your plans and your team, and our training modules give your teams the confidence and skills to communicate successfully through the crisis. Everything they do will get a live response from our experienced crisis role-play team, who simulate the public response to the crisis, giving your team live feedback and learning.

All our crisis exercises can be run fully remotely, in person, or using a hybrid of both and in all major languages.

The simulation was one of those intense and brilliant experiences that made my body go hot and my brain blank for a moment or two. Then the adrenaline kicked in and the experience enables you to draw on everything you know, lean into everything you don’t yet know and explore the possibilities of doing things differently. It was fascinating to see how I and colleagues responded in the moment. And we have had incredibly valuable discussions and successfully tried some different approaches since. Kate and Tamara’s deft and skilful facilitation made this unique experience challenging, safe and ultimately rewarding and beneficial.
