As the global financial crisis continues to stifle economic recovery, particularly in European and American markets, now, more than ever, companies do not have the luxury of second chances. At the same time, the economic realities in the West mean that businesses are increasingly willing to enter new markets in search of demand which cannot be captured in its domestic market. However, the trade-off for potentially significant gains is correspondingly high levels of risk.
In order for companies to protect their facilities, fulfil their duty of care to their employees and preserve their hard-won reputations, they need to have a complete picture of the political, social and economic context. This enables them to make an informed decision as to the feasibility of a given operation and, if they choose to proceed, to continue with their operations confident that they are aware of any potential vulnerabilities. Armed with this information, clients are able to take steps to mitigate these risks, either in-house or utilising the expertise of our Joint Operations Centre Team, who actively support our clients in meeting these global challenges.
