Services
In today’s dynamic global environment, challenges to international companies and their ability to conduct effective business take on many guises. Whether in the form of civil unrest, hostile labor unions, competitive espionage, hostile takeovers, or outright terrorism, firms cannot take it for granted that they will not be targeted.
Rather than focus solely on a company’s response to a crisis, Pegasus Capital Management Group services are designed to provide customers the tools to identify and avoid the risk beforehand, and minimize the organization’s attractiveness as a target. By planning ahead for these and other contingencies, firms can take preventive measures to protect their most valuable assets – and ultimately their bottom line.
Consulting
- Political/Country Risk Assessments
Economic, financial, political, and social changes in a region or country pose risks to multinational corporations and proprietary businesses. We can assist these entities in evaluating risk before market entry and manage risk to current operations. Established measuring and forecasting models are supplemented with on-location analysis. For clients who desire specialized political reporting services, we will develop customized information collection and analysis means.
- Security/Risk Assessments
Each organization is required to develop an appropriate security strategy for those shareholders' assets under its supervision, use or control. The company is able to assist in the identification of risks and in the development of risk management strategies. We will conduct independent security/risk assessments for our clients. These independent assessments are a comprehensive review of the existing policies and procedures for the protection of facilities, personnel, and information dissemination, human resources practices, insurance and emergency procedures. The organization will be bench marked against exist best practices.
- Threat Assessments
Our expert team conducts an in-depth assessment of how the local environment supports the terrorist attack planning cycle. The deliverable will focus on the customer's susceptibility to this planning cycle and will identify and correct process vulnerabilities as well as physical vulnerabilities.
- Crisis Management Planning and Response
No single nation is free from natural disasters, civil unrest, or terrorist actions. Realistic and tested contingency plans for potential emergencies are essential to protect employees and minimize costs when emergencies occur. Our staff and management are experienced in developing and executing crisis management plans and can assist a client in developing plans, conducting independent assessments or conducting seminars that review lessons learned from past events.
- Community Liaison/Partnership
For multinational firms with a large overseas presence, establishing a positive relationship with the local community is fundamental to building an effective security program. By portraying the benefits and positive aspects of the firm's symbiotic relationship with the community, their aim is to influence the perceptions, beliefs, and ultimately, the behavior of the local public. In cultures where relationships are the foundations of business, discriminately engaging local key communicators can help ensure the legitimacy and credibility of a company's operations, mitigate many of the risks of doing business locally, and provide exponential returns for a relatively minimal investment.
- Business Intelligence
To be successful, businesses must not only understand their own processes and practices - their internal "operating environment" - but must anticipate and manage their external operating environment, over which they have little or no control. Information on and strategic analysis of competitors, customers, vendors, suppliers, and even partners are the core of Pegasus Capital Management Groups array of business intelligence services, each of which can be specialized or customized to a client's particular needs or interests.
- Individual Terrorism/Threat Awareness
Whether due to firm's small size, resource constraints, or manpower shortages, personal security detachments for VIPs and executives is simply not a reality for most companies. In remote areas or countries where law enforcement's loyalties or effectiveness may be uncertain, the first line of defense for personnel that travel frequently is often only themselves. Having the skills to be able to minimize one's target profile, recognize impending peril, and evade the threat before it strikes can be the most cost-effective travel insurance a firm can obtain.
- Conflict Resolution/mediation
Conflict will continue to grow if unchecked. These programs are designed to help an entity resolve conflict as early as possible and prevent a threat to employees or disruption of operations. We focus on cross-cultural communications, methods of conflict resolution, and negotiations.
