Kidnap And Extortion 

A global media organisation wanted to test their senior leadership team’s response to a kidnap and extortion scenario. Operating across high-risk international territories, they needed to know how their people would perform when decisions had to be made under real pressure. Here is what they said:

“The kidnap exercise was exceptionally well run and proved far more valuable than we anticipated. The design was clear, structured, and highly realistic, pushing our senior leadership team to make tough decisions under pressure. Simon’s facilitation not only helped us understand and test our policies and processes, but also surfaced critical gaps we would never have identified internally. The emotional and operational insights gained have already influenced our preparedness planning. The exercise brought our team closer together and left us with practical, actionable improvements. We would highly recommend this exercise and his expertise to any organisation seeking to strengthen its crisis readiness in this regard.”
