There are several types of BCP drills that executive mentors suggest, each serving different purposes:
Tabletop Exercises: These are discussion-based sessions where team members walk through scenarios to identify potential issues. Walkthrough Drills: These involve step-by-step walkthroughs of the BCP to ensure everyone understands their roles. Functional Exercises: These simulate specific functions of the plan, such as the IT team restoring data from backups. Full-Scale Exercises: These are comprehensive drills that involve all aspects of the BCP and require coordination across departments.
