Wargaming strategy can apply to military operations of various types, real or fictional, as well as to high-level business and management situations. LECMgt designs powerful war games that incorporate learning theory and effectively simulate gaming experiences where critical problem solving is required to avoid unpredictable consequences. Customizing each game in exquisite detail, we offer three distinct styles – games, simulations and red teams – to meet specific client needs and market challenges.
Games
In the classic parlance of our industry, a game is a simulation of operations usually pitting two or more teams in a competitive environment. Rules, data and a certain procedural protocol are designed into the game to depict an actual or assumed real-life situation, in which the outcome often reveals winners and losers. LECMgt has earned a reputation for designing games for both corporate business and crisis management that place a premium on strategic thinking and critical decision-making. Our clientele utilize these powerful mind-challengers for training, analysis and prediction. We can customize a game to your precise needs and even provide hybrids that allow you to access several different functions at once.
Simulations
You face many crucial challenges that demand firsthand knowledge and hands-on experience. In some cases, lifelike simulations can provide you with insights very similar to those gleaned from authentic circumstances. LECMgt conducts simulation training that engages businesses, schools, government organizations and other groups in highly realistic emergency preparation for disasters, terrorist threats and other crisis events. This “synthetic experience” puts you in real world situations that enable you and other participants to:
- Evaluate decision-making and your ability to react to a specific situation or model
- Learn through experiential stimuli, rather than just listening and memorization
- Better understand, maintain and apply newfound knowledge
Red Teaming / Alternative Analysis
Designed to sharpen your team’s decision making in a wide range of critical situations, our Red Teaming methodology enables you to view a problem from an adversarial perspective. We structure this exercise to provide a variety of different approaches, developed for areas as diverse as security, business competition and crisis management. Playing the role of professional skeptic, we not only probe your current operational approach, but explore alternative solutions and paradigms. Our thorough review and creative perspectives enable you to:
- Identify weaknesses, avoid missteps
- Prevent strategic and tactical mistakes
- Redefine your overall crisis model
- Stretch your thinking by challenging underlying assumptions and biases
