Synopsis: With well over a half century of evidence derived from Operations Research and Decision Sciences, there is little doubt about the superiority of statistical inference over clinical and expert judgment. ERI analysts are in a unique position to influence critical, business decision-making, not only by reducing their own exposure to judgment bias, but also by influencing leadership and stakeholders’ awareness of common risk misperception and measurement fallacies. This Webinar will offer an introductory overview and a refresher of JDM principles for ERI analysts, offering immediate opportunities to improve the team and organization’s discourse about risk and its judgment.

·       Key Decision Science Lessons for ERI Analysts
·       Risk: A Special Kind of Judgment
·       Challenges of Popular Risk Metrics and Models

Synopsis: Providing Issues & Crisis Management (CM) support remains one of the core functional priorities for ERI teams. While most analysts working in large, multinational organizations become quickly familiar with the organization’s CM customs, practices, and leadership, few receive any formal training to CM standards and best practices. This class is specifically designed with the intelligence analyst in mind, and his/her opportunities to anticipate and add value to each phase of the CM life-cycle with strategic and tactical decision-support information products.

·       Key Principles, Objectives, and Elements of Corporate Crisis Management & Planning
·       The Evolution of CM: Information Age Challenges and Opportunities
·       Crisis Communication & Information ‘Publics’
·       Producing Early Warning intelligence and a Common Information Picture (CIP)
·       Knowledge Management Methods & Tools for Crisis & Issues Management

Synopsis: Whether for an annual shareholders’ meeting, a company-wide rally, or for brand activations during major events such the Olympic Games and the World Cup, ERI analysts will periodically be called upon to provide critical information support and analysis of risks, threats, and vulnerabilities, working with the company’s security and event planning staff. The value of such contributions is a function of the analyst’s familiarity with cross-functional objectives and best practices, key roles and responsibilities – both internal and at relevant governing bodies – and with available resources and tools. This webinar will focus on accelerating the analyst’s experience and effectiveness as a Major Events Security Planning team member for any enterprise.

Synopsis: Gone are the days where Protective Intelligence was strictly synonymous with Threat Assessment. Today’s Executive Protection (EP) programs focus on much more complex and encompassing mission objectives, thwarting risks and threats occurring largely in the information and communication spheres. The volume and formats of information critical to mounting an effective EP operation, to be safeguarded on behalf of the protectee, and needed to achieve true situational awareness, demand highly effective information management strategies and protocols. This Webinar will introduce participants to the evolution of the function, and to the full spectrum of critical information and intelligence domains which sustain effective executive protection programs.

·       The Evolution of Protective Intelligence Programs
·       Top Protective Intelligence & Critical Information ‘Buckets’
·       Routine vs. Non-Ordinary Activities
·       EP Team Engagement and Information Management
·       Basic Tools & Applications – From Knowledge Management to Social Media Monitoring
·       Etc.
