Topic: Are you CRISIS ready? Building resilience through exercising
The potential risks in business are greater, more dynamic, and less predictable than ever before. The greatest exposure does not lie within these risks, but rather lies in having a team that is not prepared to anticipate, foresee, or respond to a rising threat, and its impact on your reputation, revenue and relationships in real-time.
No matter your level of security, due diligence, or control, the reality is that we live in uncertain times. Organisations are prone to a multitude of risks that can attack from every angle. When your team is crisis ready, your organisation is prepared for anything and everything that the modern world can throw at it.
This session has a management focus, not a technical one and includes discussions on:
- The steps to planning a successful exercise
- Critical Infrastructure exercise requirements
- Lessons Management approach
- Exercise styles and techniques
- Practical tips and trips
Speaker: Donovan Croucamp, Director at Flexor
After an initial few years of military service in South Africa Donovan began a career in Security and Emergency Management. During his career he has enjoyed opportunities in local, State and Federal Government in Security and Emergency Management roles. He left the Public Service in 2015 as a Senior Executive with a responsibility for Critical Infrastructure Resilience.
Donovan started Flexor in 2016 and has since been able to assist a number of private and government sector clients with exercising their security & emergency plans. He also undertakes security risk assessments, facilitates workshops and delivers training in incident, emergency and crisis management.
Donovan’s experience as a military officer, public servant, senior executive and now as a consultant enables him to offer AISA a useful and practical insight into exercising corporate crisis management teams. Recently Donovan has facilitated three cyber Security exercises and the management lessons may be useful to members.
Current Clients of Flexor include the Australian maritime Safety Authority, Transurban, VicRoads, ConnectEast, Melbourne Museum and Emergency Management Victoria.
Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of the speaker at the end of the presentation.
Light refreshments will be served after the presentation.
