Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
A continuity plan that has never been exercised is little more than an assumption. Exercises reveal gaps in plans, build the confidence and skills of response teams, test technology and recovery arrangements, and provide evidence to boards, auditors and regulators that the organisation can respond when needed.
This Exercising and Testing Business Continuity Plans training course teaches participants how to design, run and evaluate exercises that deliver genuine value. Participants learn about different exercise types, from discussion-based walkthroughs to full live tests, how to write scenarios and injects, how to facilitate and control exercises and how to capture and act on lessons learned.
Participants design and deliver their own exercise during the course, gaining practical experience they can apply immediately.
