• Security as an Assumption: Case Studies in Safety and Security Complacency at Highly Respected Organizations 
  This presentation will examine safety and security failings at organizations that were widely perceived to have the strongest safety and security standards in their respective fields. The session will focus on how issues such as prior successes, poor internal communications, and changing priorities contributed to the Boeing 737 MAX disasters, the death of Jules Bianchi in a Formula 1 race, and the 6 January, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The presentation will emphasize how the organizations’ excellent prior safety records caused leaders to treat safety and security as assumptions instead of priorities, which contributed to fatal outcomes.
• Threat Assessment Best Practices: From the White House to the Workplace
  Every business, venue, or organization needs a threat management plan, program, and team— because the safety of your people depends on how well you identify, assess, and manage individuals and the concerning behavior they exhibit. To ensure a safe and secure workplace, you must develop tools to assess threats, implement strategies for intervention and managing threatening individuals, standardize documentation in a case management system, and train your employees to recognize warning signs and how to report them. Learn threat management best practices from a former United States Secret Service agent and former Northwestern University Police Department Director of Threat Assessment as they share techniques to identify behavioral indicators suggestive of a pathway to violence.
• Six Fundamental Questions That Identify At-Risk Individuals on Their Pathway To Violence 
  This session will provide answers to the critical questions surrounding at-risk individuals on their pathway to violence. This presentation will focus on the six fundamental questions that are always asked in post-incident reports and compel the audience to consider: "If we can answer these questions in post-incident reports, why can't we answer them while an at-risk individual is progressing up his or her pathway to violence?” We will discuss the pathway to violence and examine the stages where the warning signs exist and what methods are available to discover a pathway to prevention.
