More on the program side, certainly, of course, we're referencing the risk to employees and personnel. But it's just interesting to see organizations might be able to put that focus back on, and there is a change in focus in a lot of these markets based on what was the strain on the healthcare system." - Ben"In 2023, we'll see major changes in how organizations manage risks unless something changes dramatically." - JoeFeatured in this EpisodeAmaury CooperBoard Member/Treasurer, INSSAhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/amaurycooperJoe GleasonDirector, Global Risk Managementhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-gleason-907a325Benjamin LongworthDirector of Security Services, On Call Internationalhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-longworth-7b200b40Chapters00:00 Introduction01:23 Most influential and impactful in NGO security management04:20 Issues in the South Asia06:20 Security and climate change07:41 Challenges Faced by NGOs Operating in Ukraine12:48 Are we in the post-pandemic15:56 Security threats in Africa19:36 Geopolitical tensions between the USA-China-Russia25:47 A Focus on Tensions in the Middle East28:12 The challenges and flash points in Latin America32:05 Managing Risk in the Age of Pandemic38:22 The lessons learned from the previous years41:45 The NGO Security Management for 2023 and beyond46:36 The resources that will help NGO security managers50:48 ConclusionProduced by Heartcast Mediahttp://www.heartcastmedia.com
