Tabletop Exercise

A tabletop exercise is a strategic, discussion-based activity where team members come together to review and practice their response plans for potential emergencies or crises. They walk through scenarios step-by-step, discussing actions and decisions without physically implementing them. This process helps identify gaps in plans, improve coordination, and ensure everyone understands their roles. Think of it as a safety drill in a relaxed setting, focused on planning and communication, rather than actual physical action. It’s widely used in organizations to enhance readiness and resilience for real emergencies.
