We deliver training support for ExxonMobil’s Full-Scale Rapid Response Team (RRT) exercise in Singapore. Working closely with their Asia Pacific communications teams we prepared and tested crisis communication protocols during a high-impact incident simulation.
Our involvement in the exercise focused on ExxonMobil’s Public Information Officers (PIOs), putting them through a realistic, high-pressure drill designed to simulate a major event at a local refinery.
Using our Social Simulator platform, we created multi-channel media environment to replicate the intense scrutiny and complexity of a real-world incident. This included:
The simulation was designed to challenge participants in handling misinformation, public expectations, and evolving stakeholder concerns—all under tight time constraints.
Our expert facilitators added further pressure with live role-played phone calls simulating urgent enquiries from journalists, community leaders, and internal stakeholders. Participants were tested on their:
The immersive format helped sharpen communication under pressure, while allowing teams to explore decision-making and message consistency across channels.
At the conclusion of the drill, we provided ExxonMobil’s team with a comprehensive feedback report, detailing performance insights, strengths, and tailored recommendations to enhance their crisis communications response in future scenarios.
