Who We Are

Who is Social Simulator?

We coach, train, and test teams including emergency management and rapid response, corporate communications, resilience, customer care, and more, delivering more than 200 workshops or simulations every year.

Our focus is on crisis capability-building: we work across all sectors including food and agriculture, energy, government, financial services, aviation and emergency management.

We take security seriously: our robust software comes with solid technical support, industry-standard certifications, and security-screened teams working under NDAs.

Although we have industry leading crisis training platforms, we are far more than a software provider. Our team of consultants includes crisis and emergency specialists that bring their expertise to bear to add real value to your training.

Why Simulate?

Handling a major incident or crisis well takes regular planning and practice – after all it’s people, not processes, that manage a crisis or serious issue.

Training and exercising needs to be practical, with credible scenarios and practical tasks using realistic digital recreations – press conferences and media interviews are just part of the picture.

The range of stakeholders involved, the diversity of media and influencers – and the speed at which they work – demand more of crisis teams than ever. It’s crucial you validate your teams and your plans against the real-world challenge in ‘peacetime’, so they’re ready to handle whatever comes their way.

A simulation keeps a scenario private and secure, and helps the team learn, trying new approaches or strategies and getting feedback in a supportive environment.
