Strategic Scenario Analysis for Economic Security: Enhancing corporate resilience through tabletop exercises (TTXs)

In today’s interconnected global economy, corporate resilience demands a proactive approach to navigating complex challenges, particularly those arising from economic and cyber threats related to great power competition. This talk explores strategic scenario analysis and tabletop exercises (TTX) tailored for Japanese companies to bolster their economic security posture. Drawing insights from various scenarios, participants will gain an understanding of how nations prepare for and counter integrated economic and cyber warfare campaigns. Through real-world examples, such as graduated economic pressure campaigns and acute crises involving critical infrastructure attacks, this session will demonstrate how companies can adapt strategic defense mechanisms to safeguard operations and supply chains. Key topics include identifying economic interdependencies, enhancing cyber resilience, and fostering collaboration between public and private sectors to mitigate risks. By integrating lessons from geopolitical case studies with actionable frameworks for resilience, this talk aims to empower corporate leaders to anticipate, withstand, and thrive amid emerging economic security challenges.
