Course Overview
A control on smuggling and counterfeiting control that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. Security arrangements around counterfeiting control are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. Participants gain a realistic view of what the corporate security practice capability costs and what it returns. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in smuggling and counterfeiting control that were visible long before the incident. Participants leave with a method for the practice within corporate security practice, not a set of opinions about it. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of counterfeiting control is examined, not just described. Moving smuggling and counterfeiting control from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for counterfeiting control. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this part of corporate security practice broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
