◆ Background of the Update: Rising Geopolitical Risks and "Decisions Without Correct Answers"
In recent years, geopolitical risks that directly or indirectly affect corporate activities, such as armed conflicts, terrorism, and riots accompanying political upheavals, have become increasingly apparent worldwide. For companies with overseas bases, ensuring the safety of expatriate and local staff is the highest priority, and rapid and accurate decision-making for this purpose is strongly demanded.
However, in actual emergencies, information is fragmented and confusing, and the situation changes moment by moment. Decisions such as "when to evacuate" or "whether to maintain or close a base" are a series of "decisions without correct answers" that cannot be handled by simple manuals.
The new scenarios provided this time reproduce situations where "human lives," "business continuity," and "social responsibility" are intricately intertwined. It is possible to practically train the decision-making process within limited information and resources.
◆ Overview of New Scenarios
Armed Conflict Scenario - Direct Damage Version
This scenario targets local bases located in countries that have suffered armed invasion.
* Features: It reproduces the process where the situation gradually deteriorates, including economic sanctions, intensifying demonstrations, and warnings from embassies. Responses that capture the "harbinger" of crisis are required.
* Dilemma: It tests advanced decision-making, such as whether to make an evacuation decision before flight suspensions or border closures.
Armed Conflict Scenario - Indirect Damage Version
This scenario targets bases located in areas surrounding countries that have suffered armed invasion.
* Features: It anticipates serious business impacts that occur even without direct attack, such as soaring resource prices due to strait blockades or exclusion from supply chains.
* Dilemma: In a situation where one is "not directly involved," the challenge is to determine how much risk to factor in and at what stage to strengthen countermeasures.
Overseas Base Terrorism Response Scenario
This scenario is set in an overseas office.
* Features: It starts with a sudden explosion during weekday daytime and develops into simultaneous terrorist attacks. It reproduces a tense situation where Japanese companies and Japanese people may be targeted.
* Dilemma: In addition to confirming the safety of executives and employees, and deciding whether to "shelter in place" at the office or "return home," business impacts are considered.
Overseas Base Riot Response Scenario
This scenario depicts demonstrations, fueled by political instability, escalating into large-scale riots.
* Features: It reproduces a situation where public safety rapidly deteriorates, including crowd actions triggered by social media, and risks of checkpoints and assaults.
* Dilemma: It involves gathering information on deteriorating public safety, confirming whether there are injured persons, responding to political conflicts among employees, and considering business impacts if the situation prolongs.
◆ Future Outlook
In addition to these scenarios, "dan-lo" is equipped with templates that respond to diversifying risks such as natural disasters like the "Nankai Trough Megathrust Earthquake," "Tokyo Inland Earthquake," "Mount Fuji Eruption," and "Storm and Flood Damage," as well as "cyberattacks." We will continue to expand scenarios reflecting the latest domestic and international cases and trends to support companies in improving their resilience.
