EPE 220: The PROTECT Model: Application for EP Operations Design & Execution
Synopsis: Within the course of one week, your protectee may travel across three continents, engage in dozens of official and personal activities, and confront the most diverse risks and circumstances. No single protective posture or protocol will fit each of the business demands, threats, and vulnerabilities of today’s senior executives, and those EP specialists who apply the one-fits-all model are destined to rapid sidelining. Rather, an adaptive, outcome-driven approach needs to be able to constantly adjust, adding value to varying circumstances and leveraging any available resource or opportunity – all of which comes at a considerable increase in complexity for planning and executing protective details. The PROTECT model is the only decision support framework designed specifically for the management of third-generation EP details, helping specialists and detail leaders conduct successful protective operations.
· Step-by-step exploration and examples of each of the PROTECT elements (Principal, Risks, Opportunities, etc.), applied to both overall program design and single protective details. (See EPevolved.com for additional information on the PROTECT framework.)
