Exercising (and testing) our disaster, crisis, and business continuity plans, is important if we want our organization's and our colleagues to respond effectively and efficiently to crisis and disaster situations. I talk with globally recognized crisis management and business continuity specialist, Robert Burton. Rob will walk us through his proven methodology of how to plan and execute effective tests and exercises. We touch on: 1. Pre-exercise planning, 2. Exercise and scenario design, 3. Final logistics, 4. Exercise delivery and evaluation, 5. Post exercise activities (AAR and summary video), 6. A few stories (how exercises can go wrong, a good way to end an exercise and war brings home the seriousness of not preparing). It's a great chat and a great way to help bring your exercises to a new level. Enjoy!
