A tabletop exercise walks your team through a realistic incident scenario, step by step, in a room (or a call) with no live systems involved. People talk through what they’d do, and the gaps surface naturally — the decision nobody owns, the contact list that’s out of date, the assumption two departments each thought the other was handling. It’s the cheapest way to find out where your plan breaks.
A bounded engagement with a clear start and finish.
We pick a scenario that reflects a real threat to your business and agree who should be in the room.
We build the scenario, the injects, and a read-ahead so participants arrive ready.
We run the exercise — typically 2–3 hours — keeping discussion focused and drawing out the gaps.
We document decisions, gaps, and open questions as they surface during the session.
You receive an after-action report with prioritized findings and a concrete improvement plan.
Everything is delivered in plain language, written for owners and managers as well as technical staff.
No — and it’s better if you don’t only bring technical staff. The most valuable exercises include leadership, operations, finance, and whoever would talk to clients.
That’s a common starting point, and the exercise is still worth running — it shows you exactly what the plan needs to cover. We can help build the plan afterward.
It shouldn’t be. Exercises are explicitly no-fault and non-attributional. The point is to find gaps in the plan, never to grade people.
