The Knightsbridge Situation Room was originally developed for our clients’ staff and officials to practice their strategic intelligence skills in realistic crisis scenarios. We are now gradually releasing these exercises to the public.

​

Each exercise places you directly into the role of an intelligence professional, tasked with assessing complex reporting and briefing senior decision-makers such as the:

​

• US President & the US National Security Council

• UK Prime Minister & the UK National Security Council

• NATO Secretary General & the North Atlantic Council

• European Union Officials & the Political and Security Committee

​

You will examine competing accounts, identify what matters, make judgments under uncertainty and assess what is likely to happen next so your decision-makers get take action.

​

The scenarios and exercise materials were developed by the Knightsbridge Strategic Group, its partners and its wider network, drawing on experience from former officials of the CIA, MI6, MI5, FBI, UK Cabinet Office, Ministry of Defence, Foreign Office, NATO and European Union (to name just a few), alongside professionals in private-sector geopolitical risk.

​

All exercises are designed to be completed independently, without direct Knightsbridge supervision. Each exercise includes a certificate, issued once the participant has completed the tasks outlined.

​

The exercises are designed to create a realistic synthetic training environment for plausible geopolitical crises on the horizon. References to organisations within the exercises are included to create a realistic intelligence training environment and do not represent the actual positions, policies or plans of any actors named.
