Course Overview

The value of preparation for executive meeting security is only visible on the day it is needed. Most security failures involving this aspect of corporate security practice exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. This programme builds this part of corporate security practice from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with executive meeting security. They leave able to brief senior management on this strand of corporate security practice in terms that support a decision. Improvement in the corporate security practice capability stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Mature organisations treat executive meeting security as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this strand of corporate security practice, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the practice within corporate security practice that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
