Maturity in Exercise Governance: How BCM Programs Build Resilience
Many business continuity teams still measure their exercise programmes by activity: the number of exercises run, plans completed, or reports filed. Fortiv's white paper argues these counts say little about whether an organisation is genuinely ready to respond. As disruptions grow more complex and interconnected, static, box-ticking exercises can leave a gap between what teams rehearse and what they are likely to face.
The paper looks at how continuity teams can shift from measuring activity to demonstrating readiness: building exercise programmes that scale, generate meaningful lessons, and give leadership a clear view of recovery capability.
It's a useful read for practitioners looking to make every exercise count, and to report resilience in terms the business and regulators care about.
