Madrid keynote speakers

Dr. Colin Pilbeam

Leader at Cranfield University Safety and Accident Investigation Centre (UK)


Learning from crises: managing the change agenda

About the Talk


Organisational crises often generate “lessons to be learnt”. Unfortunately, this does not always occur. By examining the typical event sequence of crises it is possible to generate a framework for change identifying key success factors at each stage. Reasons for failure to change will also be discussed.


About the Speaker


Dr. Colin Pilbeam is a Principal Research Fellow at Cranfield University School of Management (UK). He holds doctorates in both Natural and Social Sciences, respectively from the University of Reading and the University of Bath. He has published a large number of articles and book chapters on risk and crisis management. His primary research interests lie in organizational design and the importance of organizational and individual networks. Taking a ‘network’ perspective, he is currently investigating safety leadership in service organizations sponsored by the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (UK). Recently he co-edited with David Denyer the book “Managing Change in Extreme Contexts” (Routledge, 2015).








Bart Brandsma

Social and political philosopher / consultant / trainer (The Netherlands)


Polarisation: Understanding the dynamics of us versus them

About the Talk


Polarisation – Us versus them-thinking has a high impact on the social stability of our continent, our countries, societies, our cities and neighborhoods, our schools, ourselves ...
We need strong game changers to address the phenomenon.
Lots of professionals – police officers, mayors, radicalization experts, public prosecutors, teachers, managers, policy makers, social workers, journalists – feel inspired by our polarisation strategy and work with its well tried insights and a fully new approach.


About the Speaker


Bart Brandsma is a social and political philosopher, trainer and consultant. As a consultant Bart trains professionals from all over the world. Key in his work are dialogue, conflict and polarisation.
He worked in the media as journalist and as a documentary maker a/o for Amnesty international. He was nominated for the the Socrates reward for his book De hel dat is de ander on the difference in thinking from Muslims and non Muslims. His book Polarisation: Understanding the dynamics of us versus them was launched in November 2016 (the translation in English in 2017) and is a basis for professionals that have to deal with polarisation and want to develop adequate polarisation strategies.
What are the dynamics of polarisation? Can we gain insight into the operation and fixed patterns related to black-and-white thinking? What roles do we play? And what opportunities do we have to intervene?
The book teaches how our portrayal of Man plays tricks on us, what our opportunities are to create a strategy of depolarisation, and how this phenomenon of polarisation relates to its ‘little brother’ conflict. It gives highly-accessible insights into the possibilities and limitations of the use of dialogue and it offers four crucial benchmarks we need to combat polarisation.





Christopher Ensey

Chief Operating Officer of Riot Blockchain (US)


Rethinking information security for the modern age. Data as a sensor.

About the Talk


Chris will discuss key factors in defending modern computing platforms and distributed networks, and in keeping pace with threats linked to ever growing volumes of information. He will explore new models for using data as a sensor rather than traditional security approaches which are highly network centric. His talk will touch on the domains that will form the next stage for attacks, like blockchains, serverless infrastructures and IoT. He will cover tactics that can be employed to keep pace with the growing rate and increasing impact of such attacks. The concepts he will talk about can be applied in your own security models. He offers perspectives that cut across a broad spectrum. As a Security Operations Center (SOC) operator for a global client base, he offers insights into the challenges faced in scaling incident response.


About the Speaker


Over the last 20 years, Chris Ensey has established himself as a cybersecurity expert and strategic executive. In 2012, he joined Dunbar Armored to launch their cybersecurity services practice. As Chief Operating Officer, he led a team of security professionals delivering industry leading capabilities to detect and remediate cyber-attacks across the globe. Prior to Dunbar, he served as Director of Government Solutions at SafeNet, where he was responsible for business development and marketing for their extensive suite of encryption and authentication products. At IBM, Mr. Ensey served as Principal Security Strategist for their federal division. He architected cybersecurity solutions for large scale enterprise environments leveraging IBM's extensive technology and services portfolio. Ensey has also held technical roles at SAIC and BEA Systems. He serves as an advisor to numerous cybersecurity and blockchain companies and has a BS in Computer Engineering from Virginia Tech. He has been actively using crypto based currencies since the earliest days of bitcoin. His most recent blockchain work has centered on applying distributed ledger technologies to solve complex information security and privacy challenges.

Madrid Workshops

____

Morning sessions

  • A1) The added value and ethical behavior of the communication advisor in a crisis management team
    Anne-Marie van het Erve & Frank Vergeer (The Netherlands)



    Frank Vergeer and Anne-Marie van het Erve will discuss the reason why a communication advisor is necessary in a crisis management team. His added value is (sometimes) the beheaded messenger, louse in the fur and well-founded criticaster. But he also must represent the ethical conscience of the organization in relation to victims and other people involved in the crisis.
    What we see is that this ethical conscience is shifting and drifting away. In our workshop our goal is to have a firm discussion about the three roles and the gliding scale in ethical behavior. We use practical cases and examples.


  • B1) Hyper-vulnerability and the use of bots in crisis prevention and management
    Luis Serrano & Héctor Castillo (Spain)



    Luis Serrano and Hector Castilo will address the need to unite knowledge and digital technology in crisis management in order to prevent and act effectively in its management in real time.
    They aim to make you aware of the advantages of incorporating chatbots and bots that make management operations as easy as possible. The experience of SOS Works digital crisis platform of LLORENTE & CUENCA & Noysi will be shared as an example of the union of expertise in crisis management and communication with technology to alert, notify and manage which allows for quicker responses, reduces human errors, minimizes the time of alerts and response to notifications, activate and coordinate actions and keep the Crisis Committee team informed in real time.


  • C1) The perfect crisis management. How do you get your crisis management team up to speed? How to align them with your processes?
    Bert Burkels (The Netherlands)



    Bert Burkels will explain his Quick Reference Card for crisis meetings. With this workshop he will share his experience in crisis management and how to structure crisis meetings.
    He will go for an open discussion with you on what should be on the QRC and how to make it even better.
    You will be invited to participate in a dynamic and interesting workshop that will offer tangible, useful results and ideas that will hugely improve your crisis meetings.


Afternoon sessions

  • A2) Crisis management during the zombie apocalypse – an interactive crisis game!
    Robbert Meulemeester (Belgium)



    This crisis game, first created for the European Parliament by PM Risk-Crisis-Change, offers a unique perspective on crisis management and communications. You will have the opportunity to test your knowledge and experience in bizarre, extreme and above all unimaginable circumstances. Like all serious business games, it has the purpose of training leadership competences and expose flaws or shortcomings regarding strategic thinking, tactical planning and more. Participants will have to work closely together, get their priorities straight and use their resources wisely in order to mitigate the zombie threat on an operational, strategic and communicative level. The zombie setting offers participants an understanding of complex situations and makes them discussable, improving innovative thinking in regard to preparedness.


  • B2) Outlaws and angels: illusions of control and how hackers are changing the way we make decisions
    Dr. Timothy Summers (US)



    A lucrative corporate takeover is in the works. The accountants at a massive company think it might go under. A CEO has decided to quit. An emotion fueled social movement is dividing once unified communities. Information like this moves economies, causes ripples in politics, and lives on computers all over the world. Hack the social network, acquire the data, manipulate the message, and you can change the world.
    In this candidly insightful talk, professor and ethical hacker Dr. Timothy Summers will share critical advice for protecting your organization from malicious groups seeking to hijack your data, turn it into a hostage situation and a media circus.


  • C2) Normal Chaos: survey feedback
    Dr. Mike Lauder & Dr. Hugo Marynissen (United Kingdom & Belgium)

    The workshop will review the results of the survey that members were asked to complete in Spring 18. It will present the key results and discuss their implications for management.
