Security Teleconference Advisory Board
Corporate security leaders can't manage what they can't measure. They must identify core operating activities and devise ways to measure results to make judgments about the effectiveness of the security department in protecting the company's people and assets.
No security executive can get ahead without using metrics to align the security department's performance with the company’s business goals. Senior management will quickly shoot down any funding request that lacks hard data to support it.
Smart use of security metrics is only half the battle. Only by amassing comparative benchmarks, from both within and outside the company, can security leaders make well-informed decisions about whether performance goals are being met.
Listen as our panel of veteran security professionals and advisors helps you craft a realistic, effective approach to measuring and benchmarking your security department's performance.
The panel included:
John Martinicky, Global Security Director, Navistar International Corp., Warrenville, Ill. He has worked in corporate security at Navistar for over 25 years, where he manages 300 employees.
Ben Scaglione, Security Director, New York Presbyterian Hospital, New York. He has more than 25 years of experience in corporate security and law enforcement and is an adjunct professor of security management at New Jersey City University.
John Lingle, Principal Consultant, Metrus Group Inc., Somerville, N.J. He has worked for Metrus since 1989 and in organizational consulting in the U.S. and overseas for two decades. He is the author of a book titled "Bullseye! Hitting Your Strategic Targets Through High-Impact Measurement."
David Wilkinson, Principal, The Bellwether Group, Framingham, Mass. He is a founding principal of his security and disaster preparedness consulting firm and has more than 25 years of experience in consulting and corporate security, having worked with more than 50 corporations on cost-effective security.
The panel will help jump-start your metrics and benchmarking-based management by giving new insights and fresh approaches on how you can:
- Evaluate which of the many security activities and systems are most crucial to the company’s mission, and which can be managed with a less quantitative approach.
- Decide how to measure those key activities and who will be responsible for reporting and assembling data.
- Make sound business decisions and recommendations based on data, and know when you need more information.
- Determine how to glean useful benchmarking data from other companies in your market or industry from reports or your own survey tools, without burdensome cost or labor.
