The acquisition and maintenance of such a capacity requires the implementation of training and training cycles adapted to each level of responsibility namely: writers, executives and decision-makers.
TO THE NEEDS OF OUR CUSTOMERS
By carrying out a detailed analysis of the needs of its customers, IFESO proposes a program of acquisition and maintenance of capacity adapted to the needs of the customer and which includes courses and training but also the adaptation to organizations (auditing and consulting) as well as the development of procedures (Standard Operating Procedures – SOPs).

Wargame & Redteaming
PURPOSE & PRINCIPLES
Before an exercise, IFESO also offers planning assistance in wargame and redteaming.
Wargame
IFESO can implement wargaming sessions of the operational action modes proposed by the client.
Based on simulation, a game of confrontation with the actions of the other actors of the crisis can be developed in order to draw conclusions.
Redteaming
IFESO can develop Redteaming programs whose goal is to challenge planning teams that develop military or corporate strategies in order to test the effectiveness and relevance of the plans.
A Red Team’s mission is to analyze the key factors and conclusions drawn from a situation analysis, an operational design or the development of a plan.
Having the results evaluated by an outside team provides a realistic view of the robustness of the options chosen. By questioning, the Red Team triggers a wider reflection among members of the planning team in the context of an operational environment and thus helps to reduce the number of options or biased solutions. This approach can undo the cliché ideas and clarify the problem data that planners often tend to want to mitigate.
More than 30 years of cumulative experience using planning processes gives IFESO an authentic experience to challenge the analysis and deductions of a planning team.
