Speaker Feedback
“Really enjoyed my morning with Stone Paper Scissors presenting my thoughts on innovative ways of using games to explore organisational cultures and resilience.
Every time I talk on this subject it pushes the related research ideas further up the to do list. Great engagement and I thought a really nice synergy with Al Edwards talk on SONAC’s experiences.
Thanks Jim Wallman for the opportunity to present.”

WARGAMING CIVIL CONTINGENCIES & SECURITY
DATE: Friday 14th August 2026
TIME: 10:00 AM and we aim to finish around 16:30 PM GMT
LOCATION: Islington. LONDON
DESCRIPTION: The world is becoming more and more uncertain, and resilience and continuity are issues that are looming large for many organisations. Civil emergency services are beginning to increasing use wargaming to help them understand the challenges and to identify insights into their operation al responses. This seminar looks at the interface between well-established practice in the defence & security arena, which has over a century of experience of wargaming and which has a large body of expertise and the emerging wargaming practice in the civil contingencies arena. Is all this experience cross-applicable or are there risks in merely re-skinning military wargames?

Continuing the Conversation Beyond the Seminar…
INTRODUCING GED:
A NEW ONLINE GAME EXPERIMENTATION & DEVELOPMENT GROUP
After conducting multiple Game Design Seminars, we recognized that participants often wanted to continue their experiments beyond the sessions but faced challenges in doing so. Therefore, the GED online sessions will promote ongoing participation, enhance community interaction, and better integrate with our serious games seminar programme.
