This IDC PlanScape provides CIOs, CISOs, and business leaders with a structured approach to launching or evolving their tabletop recovery exercise programs, covering why these exercises matter, what makes them successful, who needs to be involved, and how to use them as a lever for strategic improvement. According to Gerald Johnston, adjunct research advisor for IDC's IT Executive Programs, "A well-run tabletop exercise is the most effective way to prepare leaders for high-stakes disruption. It transforms disaster recovery from a policy into a practiced capability and turns uncertainty into readiness."
