What are the Challenges in Conducting Tabletop Exercises?

While tabletop exercises are valuable, they can face several challenges:

Resource Constraints: Limited resources, such as time, funding, and personnel, can hinder the planning and execution of TTXs.
Participation: Ensuring the participation of all relevant stakeholders can be challenging, particularly in large or complex jurisdictions.
Realism: Striking the right balance between a realistic scenario and one that is too complex or overwhelming can be difficult.
Follow-up: Ensuring that the recommendations from the exercise are implemented and followed up on can be a significant challenge.
