Archive: How to Conduct Powerful Exercises Every Time!
If you missed this recent webinar live, you won’t want to miss it online. Phil Lambert, president of the Center for Continuity Leadership, discusses preparation and training for crisis situations that require quick reaction and on-the-spot decision making. Having accurate continuity plans is not enough to ensure a successful recovery. People must be trained. Conducting disaster exercises is one of the most important activities we can do to train people to respond, restore, and recover from a crisis event. These exercises transpose our response and recovery strategies from theory-based ideas to sure-to-work reality.
Exercises build continuity muscle by producing accurate, viable documentation and knowledgeable, trained people … but what does it take to pull off a powerful and effective exercise? How do you measure the results? And how can you leverage the learning environment that the exercise creates for maximum learning experience?
Discussion topics include:
• Disaster exercises and why you should conduct them
• The six types of exercises
• Using the exercise planning template
• Designing just the right exercise to obtain desired results
• Conducting the exercise where theory meets reality
• How to spot low-hanging fruit by recognizing and identifying action items
• Virtual exercises and their effectiveness
• Making exercises easy and fun
