ISerious gaming and wargaming are powerful - but only when they are designed and implemented with rigour. Too many organisations adopt games without the methodological clarity or internal expertise to make them genuinely effective. FDR Strategies helps you build that foundation.
We work with organisations to:
Assess gaming needs and maturity: understanding where you are, what you need, and what readiness objectives your gaming programme should serve.
Design and develop bespoken serious games and wargames: grounded in cognitive science, human factors and operational analysis and aligned to your specific context and objective.
Build internal gaming capability: developing the expertise, methodology, and processes that allow your organisation to run, adapt and scale gaming independently.
Integrate human-centred AI into gaming workflows: not to replace human judgement, but to personalise, scale and deepen the impact of your gaming programmes.
FDR Strategies operates at the frontier of research in serious gaming, wargaming, human-system integration and human readiness. THis research foundation is not separate from our advisory practice - it informs every engagement and keeps us ahead of the field.
We support organisations and research consortia through:
Applied research in gaming and human readiness: contributing to competitive research programmes across the world
Game-based knowledge engineering and decision-making analysis: design scientifically rigorous approaches to analyse readiness and decision-making processes and acquire and structure knowledge
Evidence-based game design: translating research in cognitive science, human factors and learning science into practical game design principles
Research proposal development and scientific leadership: supporting organisations in framing and submitting competitive research bids in gaming, preparedness and human-system domains
Not every challenge has gaming as its answer. When organisations face complex human-system problems - integrating new technologies, designing operational concepts, assessing human performance in novel environments or understanding how people and system interact - FDR Strategies apples the full toolkit of operational analysis, human factors engineering and concept developement.
We help organisations:
Analyse and design adequate human-system integration: ensuring that people, process and technologies work effectively together in operational environments.
Develop and evaluate operational concepts: form early concept design through structured expert knowledge elicitation, solution ideation and testing.
Assess disruptive technologies in context: evaluate emerging technologies solutions against real human and organisational needs, not vendor promises.
Design and facilitate structured expert knowledge elicitation: turning fragmented knowledge into actionable insights for decision-making, system design and process optimisation.
