In this episode of the Managing Uncertainty Podcast, Bryan Strawser walks through ten high-impact crisis scenarios that organizations should prioritize in their tabletop exercises for 2025. From cyber extortion and data exfiltration to executive malfeasance and misinformation, these scenarios are drawn from real-world threats affecting the world’s leading companies. Bryan outlines how each scenario challenges leadership, disrupts operations, and demands cross-functional readiness.

This episode is a strategic guide for resilience, business continuity, and crisis management professionals who want to build better exercises and strengthen organizational preparedness. Bryan also shares insight on compound crises—where multiple threats unfold at once—and why now is the time to test decision-making under pressure.
