Goal:
Improve the efficiency of your testing program by training your exercise development staff on proven testing techniques.  Teach them the “trade secrets” that DSPN has discovered over 15 years of creating and conducting orientations, life-safety drills, tabletop department exercises, functional EOC drills, and full-scale emergency response exercises.

Deliverable:
A one-day on-site workshop illustrating proven techniques for building an exercise. Using a combination of lecture, videos from industry practitioners, and breakout sessions, presenters cover the following topics:

• Methods for designing, delivering, and evaluating exercises
• Defining the scope, purpose, and objectives
• Obtaining commitments to participate
• Developing realistic scenarios
• Briefing participants
• Maintaining control of the exercise
• Conducting an effective critique session
• Ensuring change within the organization
