Organizational Risk Management

Advancing Homeland Security: Building Homeland Security into the Culture

Building homeland security into the organizational culture is a responsibility of leaders in government, business and the nonprofit sectors. Participants will learn to assess their organization’s readiness and how to employ a wide range of methods to fully involve personnel in preventing and interdicting the delivery of terror and preparing for other potential catastrophic events.

Managing Fear

Participants will enhance their skills in assessing vulnerabilities, providing balanced response and minimizing fear, panic and alarmist reaction to threats. Through fear scenarios, students learn to apply measured response to crises and potential crises.

Seminar in Prevention and Security

Participants will explore both public and private preventive and protective services. They will examine how public and private agencies come together to improve information gathering and analysis, intelligence sharing, threat assessment, protection of critical infrastructures, evacuation planning, surveillance, and most importantly, the protection of people.

Terrorism, Terrorists and Threat Assessment: Global, National and Local

Myths and misperceptions are put to rest and hype is distinguished from fact. Participants will gain the tools necessary to identify and focus on legitimate threat and guide employees to focus on people, time, location and behavior — the concerns that first responders and preventers understand best. They learn to use the intelligence community as a tool in assessing, preventing and responding to threats. Through scenarios and case studies, participants enhance their skills in assessing vulnerabilities, maintaining community perspective, providing balanced response and minimizing fear, panic and alarmist reaction to terrorist threats. Through application of assessment tools, they learn to apply measured responses to crises and potential crises.
