Rapid Exercises – Preparedness

Rapid Exercises carries a preparedness exercise through its whole life cycle — from the first scenario sketch to a finished evaluation report and an action plan someone actually follows up. The platform is built for Norwegian organisations and follows the exercise methodology of the Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection (DSB). You do not need to be an exercise specialist to start: guided flows, ready-made templates and AI-assisted drafting mean the person who inherits the exercise can genuinely run it. Supports discussion-based exercises, functional exercises, games and full-scale exercises — from a one-hour tabletop around a table to full scale with role players in the field. PLANNING • Build the scenario, objectives and a master event list with time-triggered injects • Reuse templates, or upload existing plans in Word and Excel as source material • Place the exercise inside a multi-year training programme • Invite partner organisations into joint exercises, each with their own access level • A data-sharing agreement between the parties, with the processing profile derived from the exercise itself DELIVERY • Follow the event list live and log what happens as it happens • Participants join with a code — no account or licence of their own • Call roles in the exercise straight from the app, including AI-played counterparts • Get notified as tasks and deadlines approach • Document from the field with photos EVALUATION AND REPORTING • Capture first impressions immediately after the exercise • External evaluators get the assignment in the app, with deadline, reminder and delivery — not as a link they have to dig out of their inbox • Track who accepted, who is under way and who has delivered • A view across exercises: who is booked when, and who is double-booked • Keep findings, lessons and the action plan in one place • Export to Word, PDF and PowerPoint WORKS WITH YOUR TOOLS Files can stay in your organisation's own Teams area, exercise meetings land in the Outlook calendar, and evaluation data can be pulled into Power BI. RAPID does not replace the tools you already use. ACCESS The app requires an account in an organisation using Rapid Exercises. Participants and external evaluators get in through a code or invitation link, without a licence of their own.
