With employees spanning four or five decades in the office, it’s gotten way harder to manage the workforce. This highly engaging and interactive session discusses the leadership styles and management practices needed to overcome the wildly different ideas each generation has about work ethic, work-life balance, and long-term career goals, among many issues.
Recently, I was interviewed by Camera Security Now for my thoughts & insights into the Top 2 Security Risks for US-based multi-national corporations for 2017. I had a terrific time meeting & discussing today’s issues overall and especially want to thank Andy Wendt for reaching out to me and putting this article together!
Incidents of violence in the news have dramatically increased over the past 2 years. These situations include:
Perpetrators have also begun to prey on law enforcement. Violence against the police in 2016, topped out with 21 officers killed in November alone, 140 deaths in the line of duty for the year. When your protectors need protection, you begin to look for stronger solutions to maintain security.
Shock from these events has been widespread. Wisely, leaders in both the public and private sectors have begun to re-examine current policies and to actively look to build their security posture.

Our clients have identified active shooter/active threat and its assessment as an issue they would like PRS to address in training. New for 2017, Dr, Michael Corcoran is partnering with Premier Risk Solutions (PRS) to deliver some exciting online training to help managers and executives deal with workplace threat issues that arise and how to assess them.
Every other month we will present a new. The program will kick off with a free, 30-minute overview webinar of the topics for that month, defining the issues and some ideas of how to deal with them.
Two weeks later, we’ll discuss an actual case we had involving one of these topics – what occurred, how we approached it and problems encountered.
Then we’ll ask for questions, comments and ideas to be emailed in about that type of case or problem – and all will be answered.
Two weeks later, Part 2 of the case review will have us going over the questions we received and exploring ways to resolve the issues.
Finally, two weeks after that, we’ll have an in-depth webinar to really explore the topic in more detail, to include other subject matter experts (SME’s) advice.
Hence, PRS will be part of this experience as additional SME’s and share their insights.
Stay tuned and keep an active eye on the Premier Risk Solutions Advance Training Center tab of our website for more details.

The mainstream media is continually reporting on IT security vulnerabilities, Russian, Chinese and other apparent state-sponsored hacking and the potential for Alexa to spy on you, something appears to be missing in this conversation.
The elephant in the room for many CSOs we have been talking to and the thing that keeps them up at night is an equally, if not more fatal threat. While cyber security is a very valid concern, there is a movement afoot in the US and indeed global marketplace to steal wholesale parts of your business enterprise.
Learn where these threats come from and who the players are behind it. Hear how proactive assessments and programs will determine your very survival as a brand, should these disruptive activities overtake you.
In this edition of PRS Radio, Joe Zaccaria interviews John Lee about this very real global threat. John previously directed security operations across Asia for a global security giant. He has witnessed first-hand the devastating impacts these events have had on some organizations that reached out to him for help.
In an ever changing and evolving threat from terrorism, we all look for viable solutions that are economically feasible, meet the duty of care requirement and do not complicate business. Often times we forget the implications the Global War on Terror has for our business operations overseas. I recently completed a survey that was focused on whether business should pull out of Istanbul or remain. The question couldn’t have come at a more opportune time. While I was planning my impending travel to the city where East meets the West, I found myself looking closely at the travel risk as well as whether it was feasible to curtail travel by our business units. Istanbul on the surface is a “somewhat” safe city. The biggest issue I have found is the ongoing conflict the PKK (Kurdistan Worker’s Party) has waged against the Turkish Security Forces. Add that to the ongoing refugee influx as well as the presence of Islamic extremism, to include ISIL, you have a recipe that often times involves violence and terror. These elements are looking to cause a significant blow to the Turkish economy, and by all accounts, according to reports, have negatively impacted nearly $450 billion USD to the local economy. Does that mean US business should pull out? Certainly not “yet.” Once we begin to withdraw business from the region, we are saying in so many words “you have won.” In my opinion, we can establish a stronger security posture in and around our businesses as well as provide recommendations for the business traveler. There are simple things all business travelers can do in order to decrease their exposure to attacks and criminal activity. For example, some key things I encourage travelers to do:
Istanbul is a great city, but remember it is also a city struggling with a huge refugee population and a highly desirable destination for those trying to flee Iran, Iraq, and Syria. Not to mention those attempting to leave Syria after the battle for their cause to get to the West and continue the battle. Should business pull out? Absolutely not. We should just be wiser in how we conduct ourselves there.
