Risk Management Consultancy

If you expect employees to visit or work in locations with high crime rates or poor infrastructure, or you have operations and assets in areas affected by instability, terrorism or conflict, you have a legal and moral duty of care to take suitable measures to protect them.  Financial losses, business disruption and reputational damage arising from security failures can also be significant and damaging.

Edson Tiger helps you protect your organisation, people and assets against these risks. We are subject matter experts and can provide board level strategic direction as well as operational and tactical advice. We are constantly reviewing our understanding of global threats through a network of privileged sources. The recommendations and advice you get reflect the realities of the world today and the specific risks that apply to your particular circumstances.

Our clients include corporations, government agencies and high-profile individuals who need a greater understanding of security threats to make informed and intelligent decisions about how to operate safely. We help them implement effective policies, procedures or specialist measures to mitigate and control the risks they face.

The Edson Tiger Academy

Remote and home working are increasingly the norm, and many clients demand flexibility and easy access to remote learning content, as well as cost effective training solutions. In response we have created the Edson Tiger Academy.

The Academy is a web-based learning management platform that hosts our online blended learning packages, eLearning courses and webinars. The platform allows us to reproduce our unique training content in an online format. We have taken a truly blended learning approach with creative use of videos, learner tasks, case studies and live webinar tutorials; all designed to encourage active engagement rather than passive completion.

The platform hosts online blended learning versions of our instructor led training packages. Examples of training available include: Complex Environment Awareness Training (CEAT) course, Intelligent Travel eLearning course, and Suspicious Persons Observation Training (SPOT) package.

The platform is simple to use and learners are allocated a personal user account which gives then access to:

• My Courses - the course or courses which the learner has been allocated
• My Resources - the courseware, templates and tools and learner library associated with the course or courses
• My Calendar - the ability to plan and manage webinar based sessions and tutorials
