Implementing The Red Team

Red teaming is all about rigorous questioning and thinking unconventionally. Red teams consist of people who’ve proven to be contrarian thinkers. 

These are the three phases of a typical red teaming exercise:

• Using analytical tools to question the arguments and assumptions that too often go unquestioned.
• Using imaginative techniques to figure out what could go wrong – and what could go right – with the plan, in order to expose hidden threats and missed opportunities.
• Applying contrarian thinking to challenge the plan and force the organisation to consider alternative perspectives.
