Organizations must be prepared for various scenarios in today’s fast-paced and ever-changing environment.

The vExPro™ scenario library is designed to address this need by providing a comprehensive and customizable approach to scenario planning. Here’s a closer look at what the vExPro™ scenario library offers and how it can benefit your organization.  

Current Scenario Planning: Types and Delivery Methods  

Traditional scenario planning often involves lengthy and complex exercises that may only sometimes fit the specific needs of every team. These scenarios range from crisis management simulations to business continuity exercises, typically delivered through in-person workshops or virtual sessions. While these methods are effective, they may only sometimes be practical for teams looking to address specific gaps identified from incidents or more extensive exercises.  

Proposing the Scenario Library Approach  

The vExPro™ scenario library offers a more flexible and targeted approach to scenario planning. By breaking down scenarios into micro scenarios, teams can focus on specific areas that need improvement. These micro scenarios are designed to be short, ranging from 15-minute to one-hour sessions, and are customized to fit each team’s unique environment.  

Regional Breakdown Based on Organizational Charts  

The vExPro™ scenario library can be broken down regionally based on organizational charts to ensure that the scenarios are relevant and practical. This means that scenarios can be tailored to address the specific needs of global, country, or business line teams. By doing so, organizations can ensure that their preparedness efforts are aligned with their overall structure and objectives.  

Filling Gaps with Micro Scenarios  

One key benefit of the vExPro™ scenario library is its ability to help teams fill in gaps identified from incidents or larger exercises. These micro scenarios are designed to be highly specific and relevant, allowing teams to address particular areas of concern. By focusing on these targeted scenarios, teams can improve their overall preparedness and response capabilities.  

Customizing Scenarios for Teams and Their Environment  

Each scenario in the vExPro™ library is customized to fit the team’s unique environment. This means that scenarios are not only relevant but also practical and actionable. Teams can work through these scenarios in a way that mirrors their real-world operations, making the exercises more effective and impactful.

Sharing Results and Continuous Improvement  

After completing a scenario, teams are encouraged to return their results to their system. This allows for continuous improvement and knowledge sharing across the organization. By documenting and sharing the outcomes of each scenario, teams can learn from each other and build a more robust preparedness framework.  

Summary   

The vExPro™ scenario library is a powerful tool for enhancing organizational preparedness. Short, customized micro scenarios allow teams to address specific gaps and improve their response capabilities. Whether you want to strengthen your global, country, or business line preparedness, the vExPro™ scenario library provides a flexible and effective solution.
