®: our crisis exercises & simulations.You don't prepare for a crisis by reading about it. You prepare by living through it — staging, physical injects, sound and visual pressure — in a controlled setting that allows for mistakes and learning.
®COMPACTRAIN® isn't just another crisis exercise. Your teams don't watch a scenario play out on a screen: they live inside it — a staged environment, physical intrusions, sound and visual pressure. It's about building, session after session, a genuinely robust crisis unit — individually trained profiles, and above all a team that stays coordinated and effective even under difficult conditions. Because a good decision in a crisis doesn't just depend on individual skill: it depends on the team's ability to stay aligned and effective, together.

Each session is captured on video and audio. This material feeds into TRACE® analysis, our method for objectifying your teams' progress beyond first impressions.
The goal: to durably professionalize a crisis unit — to know each other better, coordinate better, and improve session after session.
Here's, concretely, what sets COMPACTRAIN® apart from conventional formats.
Written in advance, unfolding the same way regardless of the team's behavior.
Branches in real time based on your decisions — no two sessions alike.
Injects sent by email or phone — the team stays in front of a screen, in its usual environment.
Injects can also be physical and immersive — your teams live the situation in the space, not just through a notification on a screen.
Based on participants' memory and impressions.
Based on the session's video and audio capture, analyzed using the TRACE® method.
® exercise unfoldsA living scenario, customizable to your sector and your teams' level of maturity.
Objectives, scope and priority risks defined with your leadership teams beforehand.
The scenario kicks off: the first event is injected, and teams discover the situation.
The scenario evolves based on your decisions: real-time twists, simulated media pressure, partial or conflicting information.
Trade-offs to own collectively, internal and external communication to orchestrate under pressure.
Structured analysis of decisions and behaviors, grounded in the session's video and audio capture, for actionable, professionalizing lessons.
Five principles we apply systematically to guarantee the learning value of every COMPACTRAIN® exercise.
Realistic immersion is essential for a genuinely effective exercise.
Your teams must be tested against the full range of their vulnerabilities.
Risks evolve: regular training is essential.
Preparing means understanding the current state of risks and crises.
Put your crisis management resources to the test (crisis unit, business continuity plans, communication plans...).
