3. Develop
The third element of the support materials focuses on making use of the knowledge that the organisation has gathered, and developing it. Through continued skills development and conducting exercises, the organisation’s preparedness and resilience to information influence is reinforced.
About Develop
This element provides you with knowledge on how the organisation can make use of previous experience to strengthen its resilience to information influence.
Through training, exercises and systematic follow-up, you can improve working methods, share lessons learned and create a culture of continuous development. Regular training and adaptation of procedures better equips the organisation for future challenges.
Different from the other elements
The Develop element differs slightly from the other elements of the Capability Platform, as it does not follow the same structure. Rather, it contains a collection of different tools that can be used to train and instruct the organisation. Many of the links on this page lead to external websites.

Please see our frequently asked questions and answers about the Capability Platform.
Capability Check
By answering these questions, you will gain a better understanding of strengths, areas for improvement and the initiatives that may be needed to strengthen preparedness. The self-assessment serves as practical support for identifying development needs and making your organisation more resilient.
- Do you test your ability to detect and manage misleading information and rumour-spreading on a regular basis?
- Do your training and exercise plans include a psychological defence angle?
- Does the organisation have designated functions that continuously work to strengthen your role in psychological defence?
