Successful global organisations aim to achieve consistency and standardisation of products and services. Their security programmes need to strive for similar consistency and standardisation to support business units across a variety of environments with a variety of local contexts, cultures and expectations; quality of local labour, means of communicating and enforcing policies to diverse locations; the complexities of achieving standardisation and in a different way unity of purpose; and dealing with the intricacies of organisational alignment, to name but a few. This question will examine the overall approaches needed to manage these (and others) by addressing the following:

What are the main challenges faced in terms of achieving organisational consistency?
Where are the quick wins?
What are the key requirements of a strategy for consistent and good security across territories?

Panellists:
Pallavi Ade – Geopolitics and Security Risk Analyst, Co-Founder of Asian Pathfinders (India)
Melissa Mack –  Director at Witt O’Brien’s (US)
Mike Croll – Global Security Adviser (UK)
