Course Overview
A control on kidnap and detention crisis management that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. The value of preparation for crisis management is only visible on the day it is needed. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this aspect of corporate security practice and the judgement to adapt it. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of kidnap and detention crisis management and prepares them for it. The content is relevant to those who own this part of corporate security practice and to those who are held accountable for its results. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about crisis management under scrutiny. The difficulty is not agreeing that kidnap and detention crisis management matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better crisis management is rarely technical. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this aspect of corporate security practice broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
