Training Strategy and Planning
Training strategy and planning is tailored for each customer and for any level of operation. It is based on a needs analysis and is ongoing, according to a schedule outlined in the planning stage.

Complex Scenario Development
Calian is an internationally recognized expert in the development of highly complex training scenarios for both the defence and civil industries. We have participated in all NATO joint exercises since 2009, and many of the Canadian Army exercises over the last 20 years, providing scenario support, SMEs, role players and exercise management.
Building on this extensive experience devising multi-national, multi-agency scenarios for NATO and the Canadian Army, we offer national governments, agencies and NGOs detailed scenarios for effective, realistic training exercises. We are skilled at creating realistic content from strategic to tactical levels, based on our extensive experience in devising such scenarios for global militaries and our staff's own real-world experience in the military and with NGOs.

Exercise Design, Development and Delivery
Calian is recognised as a world leader in scenario planning, but we are also highly experienced in the design of exercises to test capability and response and the delivery of those exercises across multiple agencies and locations. Our team has deep expertise in supporting the exercise planning process and creating realistic content from strategic to tactical levels—tailor-made to your needs. Calian has developed—with the support of the Canadian Army—MaestroEDE, an advanced exercise design, development and delivery software solution.

Operation Planning Products
Calian offers a range of operational planning services to support and train your people efficiently, effectively and within your timeframe.
Our experience working with the Canadian Army Simulation Centre (CASC) and NATO HQs—where staff turnover is high, and qualifications and experience vary—has enabled us to develop high level training that is also flexible.

Specialized Individual and Collective Training and Mentoring
To train your personnel to be the best, they need to learn from the best. However, your top experts may not be the best trainers.
At Calian, we have built a team of expert trainers who deliver high quality training in association with respected world leaders in their fields of expertise. Our trainers devise unique training programs that offer individuals in both corporate and military organisations the in-depth information and insights from renowned experts, coupled with the expertise in rapid and effective training delivery from Calian.

MaestroEDE - Exercise Design, Development and Delivery Software Solution
Military organizations continue to seek value and efficiency in building and conducting their full-scale, complex, training events to prepare headquarters staff for operational readiness.
It can be daunting to manage and maintain control over the exercise design, development, and delivery process from start to finish. Many of today's high value, no-fail training exercises include a multitude of cross organization objectives, hundreds - sometimes thousands - of participants from different agencies, multi-level jurisdictions and disparate locations. As the training becomes more complicated, the traditional tools and processes become inefficient and labour intensive. MaestroEDE transforms complex training exercises into organized, efficient processes.
