Improve Organizational Resilience With a Tabletop Program

Don’t just plan for resilience – practice it.

Book This Workshop

Without a strong tabletop exercise program you may:

  • Over-invest in elaborate operational plans but neglect the training teams needed to implement them.
  • Use traditional approaches to resilience planning relying on rigid playbooks, which do not impart the skills teams need to handle unexpected challenges in an actual crisis.
  • Find that lack of skills and resources prevent you from running effective tabletop exercises, which can lead to false confidence in preparedness.

This workshop will help your organization:

  • Implement a structured and interactive tabletop planning program that guides organizations through exercise design, execution, and continuous improvement.
  • Focus on specific objectives and measurable outcomes to assess response readiness and refine plans after each exercise.
  • Build long-term resilience by regularly practicing and updating incident response, disaster recovery, and continuity plans to ensure they remain effective in evolving threat environments.
