SCENARIO-BASED DISCUSSIONS

The ISC Team has noted experience facilitating discussion-based exercises, which serve to train personnel and validate planning doctrine. Our time-tested approach allows our team to identify information overlaps and gaps, and to ultimately offer solutions and corrections prior to the occurrence of an actual incident. Our experience has shown that these scenario-based discussions provide an effective venue to orientate participants to new or existing plans, policies, or procedures; and to construct a common framework of understanding among all participants. If used effectively in the planning and validation process, these opportunities can also promote new ideas and improve procedures if a consensus building approach is adopted during these exercises.
