SECURITY MANAGEMENT

Focus Group provides an array of skilled security managers who have the ability to consider all of an organisation’s assets and potential hazards (both natural and man-made). The security function of the organisation will take the lead on some matters and play a supporting role in others. This approach helps ensure that the security function is, and is seen to be, a value-adding element of the organisation. By deploying a Focus consultant at your location, you will have a dedicated and experienced person looking after all your security needs. The consultant will be supported by Group’s South African office on a 24-hour basis with regards to strategic, tactical, operational, logistical and administrative issues.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION & CSR

Often times when conflict arises in deals and disputes, dealing with the case through lawyers, alone, may not resolve the situation.  When business deals and negotiations are at risk of falling through, justice is inadequate, or disputes fail to settle, we help law firms, corporates, non-profit organisations and individuals navigate a way forward through arbitration and negotiation. In cases where grievances local unrest arise in local communities, an effective and accountable corporate social responsibility-led (CSR) risk operating model, which takes into account the local dynamics and cultural nuances, can reduce the risk of conflict tension. Focus Group has extensive experience in advising clients at strategic and implementation levels on risk-integrated CSR.
