OTHER WORKSHOPS IN 2008:
SULTANATE OF OMAN
FINANCE FOR NON - FINANCE PERSONNEL
InterContinental Muscat, Oman; 23rd- 26th March
An understanding of finance and the application of accounting and finance techniques is vital for every business professional in any corporate structure. It is essential to have an understanding of accounting terminology and to be able to interpret financial statements and reports.
The objectives of this workshop are to enhance the participants' knowledge in accounting and finance practices and develop their skills in financial analysis, evaluation, risk management and financial decision making.
Case studies will be discussed and delegates will have the opportunity to work on examples to help better understand the concepts being covered.
SECURITY COORDINATION & MANAGEMENT
Crowne Plaza Muscat, Oman; 20th-24th April
This five-day workshop is a comprehensive introduction to the essentials of corporate security management, and is designed to provide full-time security management staff and those for whom security is one of a number of responsibilities with the knowledge and confidence necessary to manage a successful loss prevention operation. The workshop takes the form of lectures, workshops, discussions and exercises, during which delegates, syndicated into groups, will have the opportunity to solve typical security problems.
EFFECTIVE COMPLAINT HANDLING
InterContinental Muscat, Oman; 5th - 6th May
The customer that we already have could be up to 5 times more profitable than the new ones. The customers' loyalty is critical to any organization since the business environment becomes more and more competitive. Creating and maintaining customer loyalty also depends on effective service recovery (when things go wrong during our interaction with the customer). In other words an effective complaint handling strategy, handling the questions, suggestions, there is the need for an effective customer's feedback system and a friendly service replacement policy. According to the 2004 National Complaints Culture survey (NCCS) carried out in London, 90% of consumers admit that they will repurchase from a company if their complaint is handled well.
EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT LEADERSHIP
InterContinental Muscat, Oman; 27th - 28th October
Gandhi stated "Our power is our freedom to choose our response". Through Emotional Intelligence one grasps an understanding of behaviours, and the reason why we do and act in certain ways.
We wouldn't dream of letting a pilot fly a passenger aircraft without a flight certificate. The consequences would be disastrous. Nor would we allow doctors, IT specialists, engineers, painters and chefs to do their jobs without the right education. Nevertheless, managers and supervisors without any leadership training are asked to lead and manage others. This can have disastrous effects on the organization like poor motivation, mistakes, loss of money, loss of staff motivation and clients or an unfortunate image and bad decisions, poor communication, frustration, lack of trust, stress and conflict.
Just as it is necessary to teach a pilot to fly, it is necessary to teach a manager or team leader on how to lead.
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
CRISIS & BUSINESS CONTINUITY MANAGEMENT
Burj Al Arab Dubai, UAE; 17th - 19th February
Research consistently indicates that many businesses do not have effective crisis management or business continuity mechanisms in place. When crises hit such companies the scale of consequential loss and difficulties in business recovery are inevitably much higher than in companies which are prepared for such eventualities.
This highly participatory programme is designed to develop crisis management and business continuity management awareness and skills. It will provide the foundations for crisis management system planning and will enable delegates to contribute effectively to their respective corporate crisis management mechanisms. It also provides an overview of the planning, processes and resources necessary to create, develop and maintain a corporate-wide business continuity mechanism, capable of ensuring operational integrity in the event of a crisis.
The course will include a one-day crisis management simulation exercise, which is designed to provide a realistic context in which delegates, working in syndicates, can exercise the crisis management skills learned on the course. The exercise will be based around a series of crisis-level events which befall a national company and will test delegates' ability to address the needs of company and its stakeholders in a balanced manner whilst simultaneously ensuring that corporate interest remain paramount.
REID TECHNIQUE OF INVESTIGATIVE INTERVIEWING FOR LOSS PREVENTION & CORPORATE SECURITY PERSONNEL
Hyatt Regency Dubai, UAE; 8th - 11th June
The Reid Technique® of Interviewing and Interrogation for Loss Prevention & Corporate Security Personnel is a four-day workshop specifically designed for corporate security, loss prevention and asset protection professionals as well as Human Resources personnel.
During the first three days of the workshop, participants will learn the Reid Technique® of Interviewing and Interrogation, widely recognised as the most effective means available to exonerate the innocent and identify the guilty. The workshop is based on the basic tenet of the Reid Technique®, as taught by John E. Reid and Associates, that a custodial suspect must be advised of his rights prior to any questioning about a criminal act.
The fourth day is designed to build on the information learned and particular emphasis is placed on how to elicit information from the suspect during the interview stage that will serve as the basis for developing an individualised interrogational approach, based on the suspect's profile and characteristics. Without exception, past participants have commented on the value of the advanced techniques learned which give them a better understanding of the interrogation process, and allow them to enhance their skill level by learning new techniques and tactics.
S2 ANTI-TERRORISM OFFICER WORKSHOP

PRECEPT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE
Elysium Resort, Paphos, Cyprus; 10th - 13th November
The business world of today is constantly changing, developing and pulsating. Gone are the days when we could sit back and relax; today it is about multi-tasking, modern professionalism, and achieving results. Companies need to adapt to this change and the constant demands of their customers just to stay competitive. At a personal level we also need to constantly develop our skills and knowledge either wise we too run the risk of being overtaken by our colleagues or competitors. The modern professional can no longer afford to be and expert in one field, he/she must also be capable in a variety of roles and situations; team motivation, Problem solving, Coaching and Communicating to name but a few. This training course examines the practical skills that are the requirements of a modern day professional and how to become a high flyer in your organisation.
