Why we conduct exercises:

Exercises are powerful techniques for improving capability, reviewing standards, communicating risks and testing response plans. If not run professionally they can prove to be expensive, create false assumptions and lead to damaged reputations.  Exercise and simulation programmes are generally used for:

• training key staff to implement risk protection measures as members of crisis, emergency and business continuity teams
• testing the capability of the organisation to handle incidents and events including:
  • Plans, procedures and facilities recovery
  • Communications
  • Regulatory requirements
• exercising leadership and decision making in extreme environments
• developing scenarios and testing organisational risk management
• training  staff to work in high pressure complex environments; this builds team work, improves communications and creates the confidence necessary to handle and mitigate risk
