NEW BOOK

Exercising for Excellence: Delivering Successful Business Continuity Management Exercises.

Crisis Solutions

Do the members of your nominated crisis management team (CMT) understand their roles and responsibilities? Do they understand the tools available to support effective delivery of a timely response? Does your call-cascade system work? Do you even have a call-cascade?

Would your senior executives prefer to find the answers to these questions during a major incident or in the controlled environment of an exercise?

If you have responsibility for planning and delivering exercises to test your organization’s incident management capability, then this book will be a welcome addition to your resources.

The book provides a straightforward and practical guide for anyone with responsibility for the planning and delivery of business continuity management (BCM) exercises.

This "how-to" book is an insider’s guide to conducting successful business continuity exercises. It will enable you to test and evaluate the effectiveness of your current incident management capability and business recovery plans.

What does the book cover?
How to use and implement exercises to identify and define the BCM requirement
From the inception of an exercise programme, right through to running an event and beyond
Written in a clear, jargon-free style that will be accessible to non-experts in BCM
Includes exercises designed specifically to develop and test your organization’s technical, logistical, administrative and procedural systems
Contains many real-life case studies from people whose livelihood it is to run such exercises
Overcoming the challenge of getting senior management involved in business continuity.
This book can help you to deliver a well-run exercise that can raise consciousness from the boardroom to the shop floor and help make the work of those in business continuity valued and understood.
