Counter-Terrorism, Corporate Security & Risk Mitigation

Creating an event management capability is not merely a matter of organising security teams and ensuring that they are managed effectively over the course of the event. It is also the ability of strategic planners to create a management framework that will allow all of these separate groups to deliver their own highly specialised organisational expertise in a smooth and effective manner.

This 3-day workshop provides attendees with a detailed analysis of how such event management frameworks are created, and will give participants the skills and insights that will allow them to create similar management frameworks within their own organisations, whether they are government, corporate or NGO’s. 

Key Learning Objectives and Benefits of Attending This Workshop:

• Understand the planning cycle of complex events
• Identify stakeholders from across the range of associated sectors
• Create an integrated security management framework
• Create a road map for development
• Create a training development programme, including major multi-agency exercises

David's view on Paris Terror Attacks:

“The attacks on Paris were the realisation of the nightmare scenario of every western security agency: a well planned and coordinated multi-team attack against high-profile, high casualty targets, all carried out in the full glare of global news coverage. For those responsible for maintaining public safety in the face of unprecedented attacks, two lessons seem to emerge from the information we have so far. The first is that counter-terror doctrine teaches that an attack of this sophistication and complexity will have created a level of ‘chatter’ that should have allowed the intelligence agencies to identify that something was happening, and to take the necessary counter measures as a preventative rather than a reactive response. It is almost certain that organisational and operational failings that led to the successful delivery of the attacks will emerge. The second is that standard security protocols outside the Stade de France, where the France-Germany football game was taking place, were enough to deflect the attack, and prevent an even greater massacre. In the long run, it is the balance of effective intelligence and ongoing ‘enhanced normalcy’ at the local level that will be the most effective defence against future similar attacks.”
