WORKSHOPS & advice
Auxilia designs and delivers workshops and advisory support for organisations that need to translate insight into practice.
Workshops are interactive, application-oriented and tailored to the client’s professional context. They are suitable for military personnel, public-sector professionals, educators, trainers, students and leadership groups.
Training and education for contemporary warfare
A workshop on what contemporary and recent conflicts imply for military education, training design and professional development.
Participants examine how developments such as drones, sensors, information operations, attrition, dispersion, logistics, mobilisation and leadership under pressure should influence training objectives, scenarios and learning design.
The workshop helps organisations identify what should change in the way they prepare people for demanding and uncertain environments.
Scenario building and wargaming
A practical workshop on the design and use of scenarios and wargaming for planning, training, rehearsal and decision-making.
The workshop can support tactical, operational or strategic learning objectives and can be tailored to military, policy or educational contexts.
Advisory support
Auxilia provides focused advisory support where military, strategic or educational expertise is required.
This may include:
- strategy development and review;
- operational planning support;
- training and education design;
- scenario development;
- seminar and exercise design;
- red teaming and structured challenge;
- preparation of leadership or security events;
- support to policy, research or professional education programmes.
Leadership and team performance
A workshop on how leaders build and sustain effective small and medium-sized teams in demanding environments.
The workshop is grounded in the principles of small-unit leadership and draws on practical leadership experience in the Royal Netherlands Army. A central idea is that performance depends on both skill and will: teams must be professionally capable, but also willing to act, adapt and take responsibility under pressure.
Participants examine how leaders create the conditions for performance through standards, training, trust, feedback, disciplined initiative and shared values. The workshop focuses on how small teams function and how individual behaviour directly affects collective performance.
It is suitable for leadership development, professional education, military and security audiences, public-sector organisations, student societies and teams operating in complex or demanding contexts.
Moral courage and decision-making under pressure
A workshop on how professionals act when values, responsibility, risk and organisational pressure collide.
The workshop explores moral courage as a practical leadership requirement rather than an abstract virtue. Participants examine situations in which the right course of action is unclear, costly or uncomfortable, and where silence, delay or conformity may be easier than speaking up or taking responsibility.
The session connects practical experience with structured reflection on judgement, responsibility and professional integrity. It focuses on how individuals and teams recognise moral friction, create space for honest conversation and make decisions under pressure.
The workshop can include case-based discussion, dilemma exercises and structured reflection. It is designed to help participants move beyond general statements about values and examine what moral courage requires in practice.
It is suitable for leadership programmes, professional ethics settings, public-sector organisations, military and security audiences, confidential adviser networks, student societies and teams that operate under pressure.
