New Principles for Governance and Strategy in a Crisis

22 April 2018
Dubai, United Arab Emirates

A one-day training course for Regulators, CEOs and Board members, CISOs, CSOs, COOs, senior managers in finance, planning, government policy planners and senior officers in intelligence, emergency services, defence and cyber security, innovators in disruptive technologies, AI, IOT, banking, internal auditors, insurance and financial services, post-graduate students in Masters and higher degree courses, cyber security technology vendors and designers. The course is strongly based on peer-to-peer learning and practical tests to build capability and confidence in their leadership skills and strategic decision making that will benefit the employer and the stakeholders in their organisation. All attendees will have access to the on-line training manual through the Pulse website and will find this manual useful for ongoing reference in the workplace.

New governance principles help senior managers understand strategy and make decisions in a crisis. The five new Governance steps taught in this course build a general crisis governance framework for government and business. Also learned will be the operational decision-making skills for each Governance Principle. Alongside the theory, the know-how is taught through scenario exercises so each participant will become confident over the two days in how to apply the new governance principles for the benefit of their workplace. It is well recognised that when insider threat actors, criminals, terrorists, nation states or natural disasters impact on a country it is the experience and know-how of team leaders that prevent losses and strengthen government and business response. Strategic decision making is rarely offered in training but participants will personally develop new skills when studying each of the five new governance principles and benefiting from peer-to-peer discussions and solutions based on their experience.
