Over two days,\n    the event offered a particularly rich immersion into the tools, methods, and practices of\n    wargaming, with experience-sharing sessions from several European countries.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <figure>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humind.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20260624_095802-scaled.jpg\"\n         alt=\"Conference at the Wargaming in Paris event\">\n    <figcaption>Conference at the Wargaming in Paris event.<\/figcaption>\n  <\/figure>\n\n  <h2>A tool for strategic analysis and decision support<\/h2>\n\n  <p>\n    The event clearly showed that wargaming has become a genuine\n    <strong>tool for strategic analysis and decision support<\/strong>. It helps better understand\n    modern military conflicts, test assumptions, anticipate adversarial reactions, and prepare\n    different courses of action.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    In a context marked by operational complexity, geopolitical uncertainty, and rapidly evolving\n    technologies, wargaming provides a structured framework for exploring several possible futures\n    before making a decision.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"highlight-box\">\n    <p>\n      Wargaming is not only about simulating a confrontation. Above all, it helps represent a complex\n      system, identify points of friction, test strategic options, and better understand the possible\n      reactions of different stakeholders.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <h2>A still underused potential in the civilian world<\/h2>\n\n  <p>\n    The civilian world, however, was less represented, even though wargaming deserves to be better\n    known and more widely used by companies. Its applications are numerous, especially in situations\n    where decisions must be made under constraints, with high uncertainty and multiple stakeholders.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    For companies, wargaming can be used in areas such as:\n  <\/p>\n\n  <ul>\n    <li><strong>Crisis management<\/strong><\/li>\n    <li><strong>Complex competitive analysis<\/strong><\/li>\n    <li><strong>International development<\/strong><\/li>\n    <li><strong>Preparation for major contract negotiations<\/strong><\/li>\n    <li><strong>Regulatory anticipation<\/strong><\/li>\n    <li><strong>Response to technological disruption<\/strong><\/li>\n    <li><strong>Assessment of possible reactions from competitors, customers, partners, or public authorities<\/strong><\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <figure>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humind.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20260624_142431-scaled.jpg\"\n         alt=\"Example of a wargame table\">\n    <figcaption>Example of a wargame table.<\/figcaption>\n  <\/figure>\n\n  <h2>Corporate practices that remain discreet<\/h2>\n\n  <p>\n    Companies generally remain more discreet about their wargaming practices. This discretion is easy\n    to understand: such exercises often deal with sensitive decisions, strategic markets, direct competitors,\n    or confidential scenarios.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    However, their experience would benefit from being shared more widely, at least from a methodological\n    perspective. Civilian uses of wargaming differ significantly from practices derived from the military world.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <h2>The strategic territory of companies<\/h2>\n\n  <p>\n    The main difference lies in how \u201cterritory\u201d is represented. In a military wargame, geography plays\n    a central role: maps, positions, front lines, logistical routes, areas of control, and crossing points.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    In a corporate wargame, geography may still matter, particularly in the context of international\n    expansion or a logistics crisis. But the real strategic territory is often located elsewhere.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    It is built around <strong>market segments<\/strong>, <strong>product portfolios<\/strong>,\n    <strong>value chains<\/strong>, <strong>competitors<\/strong>, <strong>technologies<\/strong>,\n    <strong>customers<\/strong>, <strong>partners<\/strong>, and <strong>regulatory constraints<\/strong>.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"highlight-box\">\n    <p>\n      The battlefield for companies is not only physical. It is economic, competitive, technological,\n      commercial, and institutional.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <h2>A useful method for making decisions before it is too late<\/h2>\n\n  <p>\n    This is precisely what makes wargaming particularly relevant for decision-makers. It helps represent\n    a complex environment, simulate the reactions of key actors, and inform decisions before they become\n    irreversible.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    When used rigorously, wargaming helps move beyond a linear view of strategy. It forces participants\n    to consider the intentions, constraints, resources, and possible reactions of other actors. It also\n    helps identify the vulnerabilities of a plan, the blind spots of a strategy, and the unintended\n    consequences of a decision.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p class=\"conclusion\">\n    <strong>Wargaming in Paris<\/strong> therefore highlighted the value of these methods for defense and\n    military affairs. One of the key challenges in the coming years, however, will likely be to broaden\n    their use in the civilian world, particularly among companies facing increasingly unstable competitive,\n    technological, and regulatory environments.\n  <\/p>\n\n<\/article>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button preset\" data-postid=\"32547\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"box-shadow:none;-webkit-box-shadow:none;-moz-box-shadow:none;background-color:#0090b5;color:#ffffff;\"><i class=\"sf-icon-like\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\"><\/i>Like<\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wargaming in Paris: Sharing Practices That Can Benefit Companies The first international edition of Wargaming in Paris took place on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32536,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32547","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-public-blog"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.humind.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32547","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.humind.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.humind.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.humind.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.humind.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32547"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.humind.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32547\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.humind.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.humind.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.humind.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.humind.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
