Course Overview
Security arrangements around close protection team management are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. The value of preparation for team management is only visible on the day it is needed. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place the corporate security practice capability among the areas with the widest performance spread. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of close protection team management rather than to abstract argument. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for this part of corporate security practice. They acquire practical criteria for judging when team management is working and when it is only appearing to. Buying a tool rarely fixes close protection team management; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Participants leave with a method for team management, not a set of opinions about it. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the wider corporate security practice agenda ready to put in front of a decision maker.
