Rachel Briggs of The Clarity Factory and Cynthia Marble of Ontic explore the impact of increased activism and protest on executive risk and EP programmes.
They offer 5 key recommendations for CSOs:
- Build or upgrade your protective intelligence capabilities to include monitoring of activism-related threats
- Break down silos by creating cross-functional playbooks
- Train exec leaders on this risk
- Use EP programmes as a lever to position corporate security as a business-critical function
- Establish a working relationship with community relations and government affairs colleagues to create a shared understanding of corporate and executive reputation and their connections to risk
