There has been a significant increase in the number of business owners running high profile corporate events as a marketing plan inclusion for growing their businesses in a long term sustainable fashion. Many years ago I was the close protection security team leader for another UK royal protection event. The event was held in London England to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's anniversary. Over 350 royal guests and several high profile business owners attended. The team of bodyguards under my command were a multi-national team of professionals. Although the high profile event was not risk, or security problem free, I identified many fantastic bodyguard training tips which I have utilised for many corporate VIP's when running their own business growth events. Business owners can learn how to grow a long term sustainable business by tapping into some of the bodyguard training tips utilised in high profile royal protection events like the April 2011 UK royal wedding. Bodyguards are deployed en-mass to minimise the security risks & to ensure the event is successful. But how can this happen when your guest list of uninvited terrorists, organised criminals, stalkers, anarchists seek to spoil the event? Royal Protection Bodyguard Training Tips # 1 Planning Although it may sound clichéd, the old adage of, 'fail to plan - plan to fail' reigns supreme for business owners when planning any kind of major event. Right across the globe bodyguards from every nation will have been studying the recent royal wedding in the UK as the global media coverage offered an inside view of events. Only a finite detailed planning operation will ensure the business event achieves its two primary objectives. i.e. 1. Keep the VIP/s safe from physical danger. 2. Keep the VIP/s free from embarrassment. Royal Protection Bodyguard Training Tips # 2 Operation Pre-Brief Once business owners decide they would like to run a corporate event then someone with excellent proven leadership skills should be appointed as team leader for the entire event. He or she should design and facilitate the most informative operational pre-brief as possible. Bodyguards consider the operational pre-brief as the foundations for the entire business event operation. Royal Protection Bodyguard Training Tips # 3 Risk Minimisation All professional bodyguards are taught that the concept of 100% security is a myth; therefore risk minimisation is a primary security concern. Your operational pre-brief should have included information pertinent to risk and threat identification, assessment and management. All business owners should make certain risk minimisation is enhanced by ensuring you have adequate professionally trained human security resources in place to staff the business event. Royal Protection Bodyguard Training Tips # 4 Human Security Resources When we are tasked with providing security protective services for business owners for any corporate event there is a necessity for highly qualified and event experienced security human resources. In the case of close protection operatives they are frequently referred to as profession bodyguards. The title professional only applies after the bodyguards have graduated from certified close protection training programmes and have extensive operational security experience. Royal Protection Bodyguard Training Tips # 5 Operation De-Brief Business owners are advised that every security event presents its own unique set of problems and security issues. Irrespective of how well planned the event is or how experienced the security close protection bodyguards are, Murphy's Law always prevails. Murphy's Law can be summed up in the following statement; 'What can go wrong, will go wrong.' The operational De-brief provides the opportunity to identify, discuss and ensure the same mistakes, problems and issues do not happen the next time around. Business owners really can utilise high profile corporate events to turbo charge their business into profitable long term sustainable business growth by utilising the Royal Protection Bodyguard Training Tips listed above.
