Course Overview
Security arrangements around business intelligence and geopolitical risk are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. Guard force performance on geopolitical risk reflects supervision, not instruction. This programme builds the wider corporate security practice agenda from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting business intelligence and geopolitical risk and under-invest in testing it. Across sectors, teams that rehearse this strand of corporate security practice outperform teams that only plan it. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for geopolitical risk. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of business intelligence and geopolitical risk is examined, not just described. Participants finish able to explain geopolitical risk to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the corporate security practice discipline sustainable.
