Successful business continuity and disaster recovery takes more than a plan: it requires realistic testing and validation. After all, how will you know if your plans, procedures, equipment, software, and response staff will actually perform properly if you don’t test them? To do that, you have to conduct a tabletop, drill, or exercise. This in turn requires an effective drill/exercise scenario. During this hands-on webinar, you will learn how to develop a successful crisis/BCP/DRP drill/exercise scenario document. Students will master the varied aspects of effective exercise scenario preparation, including:

  1. Types of drills and exercises
  2. Elements of a successful exercise scenario
  3. Scope, objectives, and extent of play
  4. Scheduling and coordination
  5. Your scenario development team
  6. Scenario ideas
  7. Timelines
  8. Resources and props
  9. Imagination, creativity, and leadership
  10. Pulling it all together

You will also learn how to avoid common pitfalls during the development process and how to anticipate and resolve potential problems.

With Steve’s 25+ years of successful scenario development and drill/exercise conduct, his response to actual emergencies, and his real-life examples, Steve will lead the class through interactive discussions of valuable and effective drill/exercise scenario development techniques.
