Closing the Gap: Turning After-Action Findings into Real Resilience

Too many organizations treat crisis simulations and tabletop exercises as the finish line, when in reality they’re just the starting point. In this episode, Rob Burton explores why the real value lies in what comes after the exercise: prioritizing findings, assigning ownership, keeping leadership engaged, and measuring improvement.

Rob shares common challenges resilience leaders face, practical strategies for turning lessons into action, and contrasting case examples—from financial services firms that ignored findings and paid the price, to healthcare organizations that invested in follow-up and entered COVID-19 better prepared.

Listeners will walk away with a practical checklist and actionable steps to ensure their next crisis exercise doesn’t just check a box but actually strengthens resilience.
