Frequently asked Desktop Scenario Exercise questions

We start with an initial consultation to understand your needs and objectives through a 45-minute discovery call. This is followed by a digital proposal outlining recommended services, approach, timeframes, and investment required. We can then develop a detailed project plan based on agreed priorities. Once signed, an hours' engagement meeting is conducted within a 4 week window, and then the program begins.

Implementation timeframes vary based on organisation size and complexity, typically ranging from 6-9 months. We provide a detailed project plan with milestones and can phase implementation to address priority areas first. Our team are considered industry experts in project management and implementation. Typically, the only delay are stakeholders from your organisation. Our quickest program rollout was 4.5 weeks.

Our comprehensive suite of services helps organisations prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptions through integrated approaches to emergency management, crisis management, IT disaster recovery, and business continuity planning. We align these with international standards and local regulatory requirements. However, at its core our programs and support gets into the heart of your culture and continuously identifies ways to simplify how you plan and respond to threats. People are busy, they don't have time to attend multiple, day long training. We make it simple.

We provide various exercise formats, including tabletop exercises, functional exercises, and full-scale simulations through our realistic simulator we can Vea. These are customised to your organisation's specific risks and objectives, involving relevant stakeholders, and tests multiple aspects of your resilience program. We provide a post-exercise report and identify where improvement can be made. These experiences also create a buzz for your team and contributes to a culture of resilience.

While ROI varies, organisations typically see benefits through reduced impact of disruptions, improved stakeholder confidence, competitive advantage, and reduced insurance premiums. We can provide case studies demonstrating value realisation.
