future vision continued.
We can be absolutely certain that customers will be thinking differently, and the industry needs to keep pace. But that in turn requires different leadership. Not just reimagining ways of delivering existing services by alternative means. It also requires an ability and willingness to rethink the problem, sometimes in a completely sector-agnostic way and being open to solutions from parallel sectors or problem sets.
That sort of innovative thinking is not as common as other forms of corporate planning or risk management. It should be seen as an important leadership skill to be nurtured and developed in both current and future leaders.

Priorities for 2022 and beyond
One of our key priorities is enhancing real-time situational awareness for our security officers and
customers. A lot of planning goes into building a security solution, but in order to react to challenges as safely and efficiently as possible, real-time insight is imperative for both day-to- day operations and during major incidents.
This is why we’ve launched an initiative powered by a tablet-based situational
awareness application. The same tool is utilised by public sector emergency and security agencies, so we know the positive impact they have.
There are numerous benefits to improved real- time awareness, including creating better lines of communication between situational command and management teams, enabling companies to make informed decisions, and creating a culture of preparedness.
With the Protect Duty legislation on the horizon, businesses will be required to maintain standards that many have not reached previously, and they will be held to account if they don’t meet these standards. I believe situational awareness technology is the fundamental aspect in knitting together the various elements of a security solution and will be a key priority for organisations throughout the next decade and beyond. Ultimately, improved real-time awareness will ensure people are and feel safe. This is our primary reason for existence – security enables everyday life.

How do you see the future of security in 25 to 30 years time?
2050 – a world dominated by automation, where the human brain is copied and improved on by AI, machine learning and deep learning. Humans do not have the time or inclination to manage their own lives – but rely on machines for work and leisure.
Automation has created excessive levels of unemployment, leading to social unrest, injustice, and restrictions on personal freedoms. Activities of state opponents are monitored, contraventions lead to automatic incarceration at home and removal of access to the internet.
Small, highly technical and specialist private units are deployed to tackle cyber crime at local and national levels while cyber wars are conducted against coalitions of hostile states.
Reliance is on private security to manage day-to-day criminal issues. For personal crimes, only the wealthy can afford security and the investigations required. Burglaries are managed by the householder, who will use their connected device to record crime scene images, gather biometric data and submit directly to insurers who will complete the case, calculate the premium uplift and send replacement items.
All persons will have their DNA, fingerprints, and other biometric markers on an international database at birth – with access available for a fee.
