detailed response to incidents of the natural and human kind. If revenue and profit growth is going to be accelerated over the next five years there needs to be more savvy investment, but not just community projects. Organisations need to be offering regulatory support and identifying entrepreneurship in the communities that they want to sell to.


What more can we do?


The embracing of schemes such as Mothers in Africa has more impact and less chance in falling foul of bribery allegations or FCPA. Donors commit a onetime fee that can provide a micro loan to women in third world countries. These loans help women by making them independent and self reliant. The applicants are charged a 1% interest rate. After the loan is paid off the loan is recycled to a new candidate. So far these loans have proven to be quite successful in helping families, and women are paying back the loans at a better rate than seen with men!


Why is that important? The aggregated sales of product and services can experientially grow when money distribution is decentralised in developing countries, coupled with a more stable regional approach, as States that look after their citizens will usually value their own commercial commitments. This offers the organisation stability in which they can grow.


Many security organisations stepped up in the eyes of the boards with their incident planning for the Arab uprisings and the Japanese earthquake. As one CSO confirmed, “I have taken my organisation from crisis planning into incident management. The board is calmer, understanding that they are leaving us to respond to incidents rather than crises”.


Opportunities also abound in the wake of unrest; many staple foods in some countries are Government controlled, in some cases brands are owned by sympathisers of the incumbent regime. They become targets for civil unrest allowing competition to flourish if they can maintain production, suppliers and workforce loyalty. Security is the great enabler in such situations.


In Libya, companies with a strong local empathy have returned to the oil fields to find facilities largely intact; there may be issues to resolve with devolved authorities, but there is a big sense of getting the show back on the road, quietly and with resolve.


Globally there is a mixed picture for the coming 24 months, but most elements of a holistic security programme remain very big and relevant on the boardroom indicators.
