Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing how organizations design, deliver, and evaluate business continuity exercises. This session, delivered as part of Business Continuity Awareness Week, will explore the role of AI in enhancing exercise planning, scenario development, and post-exercise analysis, ultimately improving organizational resilience and preparedness.

Meet tech innovator and former engineering leader at Spotify and Volvo Cars, Mattias Altin, AI tech lead and long term BCM and resilience product lead Mikael Grape, in a conversation on how AI can be used to streamline exercise design, reducing the time and effort required to develop realistic and impactful scenarios. By leveraging AI-driven data analysis, organizations can create exercises that are tailored to their specific risks, industry challenges, and historical incidents. AI can also enhance scenario generation by analyzing past disruptions and emerging threats, ensuring exercises remain relevant and reflective of real-world challenges.

Next, the talk will explore the role of AI in scenario execution, including how it can dynamically adjust injects and responses based on participant actions. This allows for a more adaptive and immersive exercise experience, providing a more accurate simulation of crisis situations. The session will showcase how AI-driven automation can support exercise delivery, enabling planners to focus on strategic decision-making rather than administrative tasks.

Beyond exercise execution, AI also plays a critical role in post-exercise reporting and lessons management. By automating data collection and analysis, AI can quickly identify trends, highlight key takeaways, and support organizations in refining their business continuity strategies. AI-powered tools can recognize recurring challenges, suggest improvements, and streamline the After-Action Review (AAR) process, ensuring that lessons learned are effectively captured and integrated into future exercises.

This session will provide business continuity professionals with a practical understanding of how AI can enhance exercise programs, making them more efficient, data-driven, and impactful. Through real-world examples and a demonstration of AI’s capabilities in existing use cases, attendees will gain valuable insights into how they can leverage AI to strengthen their organization’s resilience.

We look forward to welcoming you!
