Crisis response isn’t just about having a plan—it’s about knowing exactly what to do when the heat is on.

In today’s fast-paced, risk-filled world, training can’t just be another box to tick—it needs to stick.

From cyber threats to misinformation campaigns, the ability to identify, respond, and recover from incidents depends on how well-prepared teams are in their specific roles. Traditionally, training on these risks is broad and generic—focusing on high-level awareness rather than the actions different...

Information overload is a serious consideration in a time where we are all constantly inundated with information noise. By most widely known estimates, the amount of information available is doubling every 12-18 months. Studies show that when decision-makers are bombarded with too much data, they tend to default to habit as opposed to data, delay...
Have you ever tried to break a bad habit—only to find that, just before it disappears, it gets even worse? That’s an extinction burst in action. It’s a concept from behavioral psychology that describes the temporary increase in frequency, intensity, or variability of a behavior when reinforcement is suddenly removed.
