Welcome to the Institute of Strategic Risk Management UAE Chapter. The ISRM is a forum where senior practitioners, academics and strategic policy makers can come together in order to truly understand the nature of the complex threats of the modern world, and to explore the issues surrounding the development of the range of multiple-stakeholder frameworks, policies and capabilities that will be necessary in order to face up to and successfully engage with them, whether in a government, corporate or any other context.
Since its establishment at the start of this year, the ISRM has received support and engagement from major institutions around the world. Our hope is that the ISRM UAE Chapter will become a regional community, whose members share a common objectives – understanding how we can create safety and security for the organisations we are involved in, as well as for the wider society that we are all a part of.
The ISRM offers you an opportunity to take part in world class training, gain formal qualifications, enjoy social events, develop professional networks and, if you wish to do so, to take an active part in developing and supporting the ISRM wherever in the world you are. We are always happy to hear your ideas on how the ISRM can be made better, so feel free to let us know, either at a regional level or through the London HQ.
The ISRM UAE Chapter Launch on 17th April was a great success. Thanks to those people who came, as well as those people who contacted us to say that they couldn't make it, but who offered their support for future events and activities.
It was widely agreed that the ISRM was offering a valuable service for the UAE (and wider region) in creating a specialist organisation focusing on the strategic perspective for security, risk, resilience, and crisis management.
The UAE Chapter Director is Dr Declan Garrett, who is Head of Security for Abu Dhabi Louvre. The Management Team currently consists of Steve Flaherty, H&S Manager at La Perle and Nikolaos Gkionis, Safety & Security Manager at Meraas.
Please contact Steve on steven.flaherty@theisrm.org for any enquiries about the ISRM UAE Chapter.

Our thanks to Achieve Consultancy (www.achieveconsultancy.com) and Nikki Beach Dubai (https://dubai.nikkibeach.com/) who are sponsoring the Level 5 Award in Corporate Risk and Crisis Management programme in Dubai from 22nd-24th June.
This programme has been delivered in seventeen countries since 2015, and has become recognised as one of the leading qualifications for strategic risk and crisis management.
It is designed for experienced security, risk and crisis managers who are being given responsibility for increasingly large-scale and complex planning and management programmes. Course material includes an understanding of 21st century risks and crises, global best practices, frameworks and templates, and an opportunity to share experiences and insights with other senior practitioners from multiple sectors.
For more information on the programme, please visit the ISRM training page, or contact steven.flaherty@theisrm.org.
Abu Dhabi, 22nd-24th September, 2019
The strategic planning and management of major events is one of the most testing project management programmes in the world. It is a 'one-shot' operation, that combines the immovable date of an opening ceremony with the pressure that comes with the eyes of the world resting on a country that has staked its national reputation on the successful delivery of a programme that will undoubtedly go beyond anything that had been experienced before in terms of scale, scope and complexity.
At the heart of that planning and delivery process is the development of an appropriate C4 (Command / Control /Coordination /Communication) management system, as well as a detailed roadmap that can establish, right from the beginning of the delivery process, a framework within which the multiple components of a successful major event can be put together in a planned, structured and cohesive manner.
This programme takes many of the lessons learned from previous major events (and in particular, the London 2012 London Olympics and Paralympic Games), and creates a set of templates, frameworks and protocols that can be applied to the planning and management of any major event, whatever its size, scope or intrinsic nature.
