STRATEGIC EXERCISE PLANNING
Preparing Organizations Before the Crisis
Exercise Planning is where effective response truly begins. Celtic Edge partners with executives, emergency managers, and operational leaders to design and deliver high-impact exercises that strengthen decision-making under stress. Our programs are precise, intentional, and tailored to your organizational structure, mission, and risk profile.
Effective exercises span environments from private boardrooms to multi-agency coordination centers. We build scenarios that challenge assumptions, elevate leadership performance, and enhance cross-functional coordination. Whether you need a focused tabletop, a functional exercise, or a full-scale operational simulation, every scenario is crafted to reflect your real-world environment.
Our approach is not a single event—it is a full lifecycle. We remain engaged from initial planning through facilitation, evaluation, and improvement development to ensure each exercise produces meaningful insights and actionable outcomes.
