IM Exercising & Training
All plans and response teams must be subjected to exercising, otherwise we cannot be sure that we will have the appropriate response to an incident.
There are a number of types of exercise, including structured walkthroughs of plans, drills, functional tests and live plays. However the desktop type of exercise is commonly used to take response teams through the thought process of responding to an adverse situation and is in the form of a facilitated session with the Incident Management Team being asked to respond in theory to a specific scenario provided by the exercise facilitator. The desktop exercise, correctly facilitated, improves awareness, increases confidence, validates response plans, strategies and roles and responsibilities and provides a level of assurance that the organisation’s business continuity capability is fit for purpose.
Teed can help you by developing, facilitating and reporting on business continuity exercises, including technical IT tests, or we can simply help you to develop an appropriate exercise programme for your organisation.
In addition to simple awareness presentations, Teed can also provide more formal training – both for those expected to facilitate exercises, akin to a “train the trainer” approach, and also for Incident Management Teams where we include training in our tried and tested decision making and information management processes.
