Security and cultural context

Recognising weaknesses in situations and places that look perfect and safe is neither easy, nor in many cases, welcome. We understand the necessity for sensitivity and empathy in challenging structures, systems, and procedures in businesses, organisations, and communities, objectively, and confidentially.

Burrill Green can show you how we have applied our philosophy practically and cost-effectively to deliver a wide range of benefits, from defending market share and volume against unauthorised competitors, to ensuring leadership in crisis management to avoid catastrophe, to lowering transaction costs, and a suite of other solutions.

At Burrill Green our core competences are proactive security auditing and evaluation, security management strategy, and security support services in change management, search and selection, mentoring, facilitation, coaching and training.

Our network and relationships embrace best-in-class practitioners to support all our strategy and implementation recommendations.

As security management specialists, we are committed to the constant development of security as a driver of performance, quality, and reputation in organisations.

Search and Selection

We have a search and selection operation, a professional practice division of Burrill Green Limited, called Secure Leadership. We believe this operation will make a significant contribution to our mission and role in helping shape corporate security’s role as an integrated business function in leading organisations. More about our approach can be found through Secure Leadership’s dedicated website: www.secureleadership.com

Facilitation

We provide facilitation services to management teams, both on specific corporate security issues and in general management contexts. Our experience in helping cross-functional teams deal with complex subjects, particularly where time constraints are prevalent, emerges from our overall corporate experience and repeated invitations to provide objective guidance and, where required, expert input on management challenges.

Coaching and Mentoring

Our experience shows that coaching and mentoring have become significant support services for management nurturing. Feedback also shows that within a large coterie of the senior professional security management community, although general coaching and mentoring is available, there is a gap in addressing the deeper and specific challenges that face the rising security executive and the CSO facing new demands in their organisations.

Burrill Green provides a bespoke service to complement general programmes in these areas of personal and management development. The principal point of difference in the Burrill Green Security Management Mentoring Service comes through our ability to bring valuable insight to security executives from extensive empirical experience. Burrill Green mentors and coaches have successfully put into practice skills and programmes they can now confer to you. These services can be provided as a one-time brief or as a continuing development programme.

Investigative Interviewing

A number of security professionals are familiar with the developing techniques of investigative interviewing in the fields of intelligence, law enforcement, and media. Yet the use of these skills in commercial environments is relatively undeveloped.

For the security management team, and , by extension, other management functions who are involved not only in asset protection but also value creation, the ability to conduct consistent levels of investigative interviewing can add significantly to the quality of information and time spent in problem resolution, due diligence, and other critical company functions.

Burrill Green's interactive programme is designed to help busy executives learn and practice these techniques efficiently and pragmatically. The programme recognises and embraces linguistic, cultural and other behavioural variations to reflect global markets.
