Join Rob Burton for a BCI webinar
Rob Burton will be facilitating a BCI webinar titled “Developing Impactful Crisis Simulation Tabletop Exercises” on Tuesday February 19th at midday EST. A common mistake when planning for crises is that organizations don’t validate their plans by conducting tabletop exercises. This is often due to their limited understanding of how to conduct them effectively. In this webinar, Rob will show you how to create, deliver and evaluate your own tabletop exercises. Register here.
