It is built on academic expertise in the methodology of wargaming developed over 30 years within the King's College London War Studies Group by Professor Michael Clarke, Professor Sir Lawrence Freedman, Professor Ragnar Löfstedt and Mr Keith Britto.

The founding academics have developed a wide range of wargaming and simulation techniques, which are dynamic, decision-making strategic tools based on military wargaming methodology. They simulate future factors (such as political, economic, technological) that will impact a business and its operating environment.

A wargame or simulation forces participants to make decisions and respond to the external environment (represented by experts) in a "wargame", to test the robustness of their assumptions and see the consequences of their decisions in a "safe" environment.
