Discussion-Based Exercise

Discussion-based exercises (tabletop) give participants the opportunity to talk through the handling of realistic scenarios in a safe and structured setting. The exercise strengthens the understanding of roles, responsibilities, decision-making processes and collaboration before a real incident occurs.

From plans to reflection and decision

Discussion-based exercises are an effective method for testing plans, procedures and organisation without the need for extensive practical execution. The participants work on a scenario that develops throughout the exercise and must assess challenges, measures and priorities along the way. Our facilitators provide professional input, reflection and learning that help to strengthen the organisation's emergency preparedness and crisis response.

The exercise can include

testing of emergency preparedness plans, crisis plans and continuity plans
roles, responsibilities and authority in the emergency and crisis organisation
notification, escalation and mobilisation of resources
establishing and updating the situational picture
handling of information flow and decision-making processes
internal and external crisis communication
collaboration between management, specialist teams and external parties
handling of dilemmas, uncertainty and time pressure
identification of areas for improvement and measures

What does the organisation get?

The organisation has its plans, roles and work processes verified through realistic issues. The exercise contributes to increased competence, better collaboration and greater confidence in the handling of unwanted incidents. The result is valuable learning and concrete recommendations that can be used to further develop the organisation's emergency preparedness.
