HELPING YOU TO MAKE DECISIONS IN CONDITIONS OF UNCERTAINTY
WHAT WE DO
OPERATION STORM®
Operation Storm® provides a high pressure, exciting and stimulating experiential learning event, giving a realistic insight into the work of investigators, exposing delegates to a range of transferable skills whilst addressing the key objective of making critical decisions in conditions of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity.
Who We Are
We are a boutique risk and crisis management advisory, specialising in immersive leadership exercises that go beyond traditional tabletop approaches.
How We Work
We design and deliver highly customised, realistic, scenario-driven simulations that replicate the complexity of real-world crises. Instead of paper-based injects, we use multimedia, professional role actors, and dynamic breakout sessions to fully engage participants.
Our Philosophy
Our approach is not about putting leaders on the spot or creating fear. Instead, we focus on building confidence through carefully structured experiences. We use frequent micro-debriefs to capture insights in the moment, ensuring lessons are retained and applied. We are discreet and are accustomed to working in confidential and security cleared environments.
Outcomes
Every exercise culminates in a clear, actionable After Action Report that identifies strengths, highlights areas for improvement, and ultimately strengthens organisational resilience.
HUNTED
Kevin O'Leary is the adjudicator and policing subject matter expert for Hunted & Celebrity Hunted. He was part of the team that designed the original series, ensuring authenticity in the replication of investigative methods.
Behind the scenes on TV, Kevin runs 'TV Command' which is the engine room of the programme, providing the information to the Hunters if, and only if, they develop the leads and successful enquiries to earn it. He is also the referee, making decisions and judgement calls, which are often challenged by the passionate parties trying to outwit each other. Often tense, usually taking flak from one side or the other, but a great experience working with some fantastic people in telly.

In Memory of Michael Toyne 1958 - 2015
Mick was a thought leader with regards to risk management, having had exposure to some of the most challenging operational environments in law enforcement.
His vast experience, academic knowledge and practical approach to managing risk in a way that really worked made him someone who was sought after by those facing tough challenges.
Mick's work in reducing harm and mitigating risk was the enabling factor in many investigations and difficult operations. He was able to transfer this knowledge and understanding to other sectors and, through Risk Angels, provided the same enabling support to a wide range of businesses and institutions across the world.
Mick was passionate about his work and as a founder of Risk Angels he was at the forefront of making a difference in changing the way people and business think about risk. He would be proud to know his legacy lives on.
“Life slips by. The way to prolong it is for others to continue your work.”
