Bengali Tiger

For delegates familiar with Security Management Stage 1, the term Sumatran Tiger conjures up images of long evenings debating with colleagues in front of a computer screen to put together a security strategy for a notional oil extraction and production operation deep in the heart of SE Asia.

Delegates attending the Security Management Stage 1 Course in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka were for the first time today introduced to “the tiger” and enthusiastically set about identifying the risks, actual and potential, which might befall this huge foreign investment project.

Typically for a group of South Asian security managers, this course is bursting at the seams with talent and enthusiasm, and the project results are likely to reflect this. Three of the five syndicates have each have one retired Brigadier-General at the helm, ensuring the solution remains strategic, and with almost half the 20 delegates possessing an MBA or studying for such, the solutions are sure to be business commensurate.
