In this episode of the Managing Uncertainty Podcast, Bryghtpath Principal & Chief Executive Bryan Strawser explores how to design and lead effective crisis or continuity exercises with your Board of Directors. These sessions are often filled with hesitation, but when approached with clarity and strategic framing, they become a powerful opportunity to build influence and drive alignment at the highest level of the organization. Bryan shares how to move beyond traditional tabletop exercises and instead facilitate a meaningful dialogue on risk, readiness, and executive decision-making.
You’ll learn how to reframe exercises as strategic conversations, choose scenarios that matter to the board, and guide a session that focuses on judgment rather than process. Bryan also covers common pitfalls, practical design steps, and how to follow up in a way that creates momentum for your program. Whether you’re planning your first board engagement or refining an existing approach, this episode provides the roadmap to lead with confidence and impact.
