Black Swan Schulung

What will be taught

In this course, you will learn how to effectively manage unpredictable crises, known as Black Swan Events, and how to prepare for emergencies. You will discover how Business Continuity or Crisis Management plans can be used to make organizations more resilient. Our goal is to make a valuable contribution to ensuring that you are well-prepared for the KRITIS framework law.

This training is essential for professionals responsible for safety and emergency measures, enabling them to make informed decisions in extreme situations and minimize potential risks.
During a Lunch-to-Lunch event at our location, the following topics will be covered:

  • Crisis vs. Emergency Management
  • The Black Swan and the Wildcard
  • How to properly respond to threats
  • Tabletop exercise
  • Emergency services and early warning systems
  • Securing crime or accident scenes
  • Crisis communication


The goal of this training is to be optimally prepared for a worst-case scenario and to strengthen crisis management within the organization, which plays a crucial role during an emergency. We will prepare you to handle unpredictable risks! 

This course is conducted in collaboration with the WSD Academy. Participants will receive a certificate confirming the knowledge gained.

What is actually a Black Swan?

We generally distinguish between Wildcards and Black Swans.
While both Wildcard and Black Swan events are related to uncertainty, Wildcards represent extreme but conceivable scenarios that can be incorporated into strategic planning.
Black Swan events, on the other hand, are so far outside of normal expectations that they overwhelm traditional risk management practices and require a different approach to strengthening organizational resilience.
