Mr. Juan Kirsten is DG, International Security Industry Organization since 2002. He is author of HIM (Human Investigation Management) which is focused on standardization and capacity building for globalization resulting in HIM MoU endorsed by CAPSI (Central Association for Private Security Industry, India) and SASA (Security Association of South African).
He is also author of peer reviewed manuscripts, booklets and guidance articles based upon Critical Thinking: the X Factor for Security, Criminology and Risk (vol 3) which are six studies interwoven into one manuscript. He strongly believes that, “The security Success depends on the level of situational awareness of the decision-makers on the ground and their reaction speed”. Very rarely one comes across a book which is living research in which every facet of professional values get added to give cutting edge to security professionals which they missed so far! Juan has done what the Security Professionals needed all this while to sharpen their knowledge and skills. And the best part is that the approach to the subject is very easy and practical.
What is X Factor: The X Factor is ‘what we do not know’ which may be unique to our region of interest, causing collateral damage. This is the X factor and is the biggest nightmare for any professional. This X factor must be discovered by the people-on-the-ground or with technology and equipment.
How much we can depend on Technology: The technology is only as good as the users therefore the thinking method of the users is crucial! It would be wrong to understand that technology is going to solve all our problems – for either we do not understand the technologies or we do not understand the problems.
Security profession and e-learning: In today’s times, e-learning is pivotal to our decision making as situational awareness is more and more in real time and there is a heavy inflow of information which needs to be processed for that accurate and critical decision which will make or break an organisation.
The book is highly recommended for security professionals all over the world as this has universal application and global approach.
The discussion is organised by ICISS (International Council for Industrial Security & Safety Management) which is in the forefront in Professionalizing the Security Professionals!
