Advisory services

An evolving risk landscape

The risk to organisational resilience from external risks such as pandemics, power outages, cyber, and climate impacts increases each year. The risk landscape is evolving and fast-moving.

The UKRA offers organisations a range of advisory and exercising service solutions to the problems they face in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from, significant disruption.

UKRA services include

Comprehensive service provision

We provide an end-to-end service provision from baseline assessments that deeply understand the needs of an organisation, through to training, exercising, assurance, and validation.

Programme and project management

We can offer full programme and project management that is integrated into organisational learning development and delivered in multi-year programmes of work for enduring impact.

Collaboration with key stakeholders

Working with the UK Government, local authorities, critical national infrastructure providers, as well as organisations working nationally and locally, we deliver training and exercising that is fully adapted to specific needs as well as relevant standards, regulations, and legislation to ensure relevance and effective learning.

Building capability through blended learning

Working with each organisation, we build capability through blended learning programs including e-learning modules and structured programs to embed learning and build capabilities.

Built from lived experience, and the key and core training requirements for the UK resilience community, our training services are based upon fully up-to-date design and delivery requirements for resilience professionals – from front-line responders to strategic decision-makers.

Flexible training to suit your needs

Training can be delivered onsite anywhere in UK or internationally, as well as virtually for full flexibility to suit client requirements. Training is facilitated by our network of highly skills and experienced subject matter experts.

Exercise development and validation

We build and deliver exercises that test UK resilience to national security risks based upon the UK Exercising Best Practice Guidelines. We rehearse teams and validate plans, from smaller groups through to large-scale national exercises.

Continuous improvement through lessons learned

We identify and document lessons learned during exercises, supporting customers in embedding post-exercise recommendations into their resilience strategies, to ensure continuous improvement in line with UK requirements and best practice.

Trusted experience

For over 15 years, we have been trusted to work with organisations to deliver sustainable and impactful programmes of work that enhance resilience capabilities.
