Tabletop Exercises
Think your emergency planning is up to standard? Test your plan with a tabletop exercise. Bo unfolds one or more scenarios tied to your vulnerabilities, then facilitates your team's response. Each exercise is followed with a debriefing so you can make any necessary adjustments to your plan. Tabletops are also an excellent method for getting buy-in from emergency planning skeptics.
