Business Continuity Tabletop Exercises: AI-Generated Scenarios That Actually Surface Gaps
Most BC tabletops are predictable — server outage, ransomware. AI can generate scenarios that combine operational, supply chain, and reputational threats to surface plan gaps the standard scenarios miss.

The premise
Predictable scenarios produce predictable response; AI generates the messy multi-vector scenarios that test real gaps.
What AI does well here
- Generate multi-vector scenarios combining cyber, supply chain, and reputational threats
- Produce inject schedules for the exercise facilitator
- Draft the post-exercise report template with finding categories
- Generate scenario variations for re-running the exercise with different teams
What AI cannot do
- Replace the actual exercise (the value is the conversation, not the document)
- Substitute for the facilitator's real-time judgment about which injects to use
- Make decisions about plan changes (that's the steering committee's job)
