A Table Top

Process to train for, assess, practise and improve performance in an organization.
Note 1 to entry: Exercises can be used for validating policies, plans, procedures, training , equipment, and inter-organizational agreements; clarifying and training personnel in roles and responsibilities; improving inter­organizational coordination and communications; identifying gaps in resources; improving individual performance and identifying opportunities for improvement; and a controlled opportunity to practise improvisation.
Note 2 to entry: See also test.

The influence of both the players' expertise and the reaction time (difference between expected time and time necessary to actually complete the injects) on the final evaluation of the inject responses was also taken into account.
