I'm joined by award-winning Business Continuity and Crisis Management expert, Charlie Maclean-Bristol, as we talk about building a framework for writing Business Continuity Management (BCM) test objectives, and testing practices overall. Charlie touches on: 1. Testing vs exercising 2. How COVID has impacted testing 3. 4 key components to consider when writing test objectives 4, Testing purpose 5. Measuring success and SMART considerations 6. Pre-test planning 7. Building capabilities 8. Post-exercise assessments, observations, and recommendations What started as a rather short discussion turned into a long chat about testing, and he shares some great insights into how we can improve our own testing capabilities. You don't want to miss Charlie's insights. Enjoy!
