Wider application of MSaaS
How can MSaaS
techniques and tools
benefit Crisis
Management Training?
Crisis: An unplanned event or
occurrence that leads to confusion /
inaction and the consequences give
rise to the requirement for CM
A crisis is only a crisis until it
is resolved
Your crisis is my normality

Crisis Management Activities
Crisis
Prevent- If possible stop the crisis from
happening
Prepare- Obtain necessary resources
- Train and exercise
Plan- Formulate a response
Predict- What and when
Recognise- What has happened
Respond- Implement the
appropriate response
Recover- Return things to
normal after the crisis
Record- Capture what happened and what was done
- Feed this into future prediction, planning and
preparation

Crisis Management Training
▌ Training Exercises (UK approach)
Discussion based exercise – what if.. ? discussion and reflection
Table-top exercise – simulated incident with scripted injects/events
Live exercise – immersive simulation
▌ Live Exercises
Multi-agency Collective Training
Live / Virtual / Constructive mix
Examples:
VIKING 18 – organised by the Swedish Armed Forces
Exercise Unified Response – organised by the London Fire Brigade
Complex, long lead times, large numbers of participants and assets

Expected MSaaS Benefits to Crisis Management Exercises
▌ Efficient use of simulation resources (assets) – buy/develop once, use many times
▌ Reduce technical expertise required for creating/deploying simulations - by
capturing and reusing simulation designs (asset plans)
▌ Save time creating and deploying simulations – through reuse and automated
deployment
▌ Capitalises on the benefits of recent IT/cloud developments – agile allocation and
use of computing resources
▌ Collaborative working – by providing a shared (and controlled) development
environment;
▌ Potential for different business models (e.g. Pay As You Go) – but don’t underestimate
the work needed to introduce new models
