Table Top Exercise Blue Water’s table top exercise service can be delivered virtually or in-person. They involve realistic scenarios and a time line, which may be in real time or may speed time up. Our in-person table top exercises are run in a single room, or in a series of linked rooms which simulate the divisions between responders who need to communicate and be co-ordinated. Our virtual table top exercises are delivered via GlobalTop and reduce costs even further. In both instances teams are expected to have a general understanding of their plans and be able to respond to the scenarios as they unfold. Our table top exercise is particularly useful for validation purposes, particularly for exploring weaknesses in procedures and processes. They demand careful and detailed preparation.

Live/Full Scale ExerciseBlue Water’s live/full scale exercises are a live rehearsal for implementing a plan. Such exercises are particularly useful for testing logistics, communications, notification, response and physical capabilities. They also make excellent training events from the point of view of learning, helping participants develop confidence in their skills and providing experience of what it would be like to use the plan's procedures in a real event. Live exercises demand the most extensive preparation. We also deliver the live exercise via GlobalTop if desired.

Hybrid ExerciseBlue Water’s hybrid exercises combine both table top and elements of a live/full scale exercise. This allows our clients to customize an exercise based on their specific needs. We understand your complex challenges when it comes to evaluating the state of your readiness.
