WorldbyFlow for business continuity and resilience leads

A continuity plan is a scenario with named triggers, or it is a binder. WorldbyFlow writes scenario branches with their load-bearing assumptions stated and the observable triggers that would select each, and its Studio has a wargame class that turns the scenario into the exercise itself.

Written for Owns continuity planning and crisis preparedness.·Runs in the General domain

Where this fits in your week

Continuity and crisis preparedness is the discipline of rehearsing what has not happened yet. The scans here build the rehearsal: scenario branches with triggers, a risk read with cascades walked, a dated calendar for hurricane season and the other clocks you plan around, a structured read on a past incident, a map of who responded to it, and a study of the continuity method your program follows.

Lead scan

Scenario

3 credits · deep dive · about 3–6 min

Branches with their assumptions named and the observable triggers that would select each. The continuity scenario as a document the exercise can run on.

Try it on: a subject you already hold an opinion about, so you can grade the result against what you know.

Risk

3 credits

Single points of failure named and cascades walked explicitly. The dependency read for a company on one cloud, one factory or one payments network.

Try it on A company running on one cloud provider · A manufacturer with a single factory · A bank's payments dependence on one network

Catalyst Calendar

2 credits

A dated calendar for the clocks you plan around, each date's basis stated. Season starts and regulatory deadlines, honestly tagged.

Try it on Hurricane season · The Panama Canal · The Federal Reserve

Event

2 credits

A structured read on a past incident: what happened, who it landed on, through what mechanism, what changed after. The case for the exercise.

Try it on The CrowdStrike outage · The Texas winter storm blackout · The Colonial Pipeline attack

Who's On It

3 credits

Who responded to an incident and how, mapped from the record. The response pattern to rehearse against.

Try it on The CrowdStrike outage · A ransomware attack on a hospital · A hurricane hitting the Gulf Coast

Method Study

4 credits

A continuity method studied as a method: origin, evidence, failure modes. Business impact analysis and tabletop exercises have a literature, and this reads it.

A working path

From a first run to a result you can hand over

The order matters. The first read gives you the structure; the next ones fill the parts that are hardest to source by hand.

01

Run Risk on your most concentrated dependency

Read the cascade. The order in which things fail is the order the plan has to address them in.

3 credits
02

Run Scenario on the outage you most fear

The named assumptions and triggers. The scenario document for the next exercise, with its conditions visible.

3 credits
03

Run Event on a comparable incident that happened to someone else

What happened and what changed after. The case study for the exercise debrief.

2 credits
04

Run the exercise

Export the reads as the read-ahead, or let the Studio's wargame class build the exercise package from them.

No credits.

What comes back

A result whose claims carry their grades

Sourced, not asserted

Every figure and quote links to where it came from. A claim the scan could not source is marked as such rather than dressed up.

Verified or grounded
Reported or attributed

Open question

Ready to hand over

Export the scenario and risk reads as PDFs for the exercise pack, or build the full exercise in the Studio.

Run Scenario on something you already know

The fastest way to judge the result is to pick a subject you know cold and read it against what you know. If a colleague sent you here with an invitation, the credits land on your account when you sign up.
