Additional Influences

The concepts presented have also been informed by practical experience gained through:

• Military service and operational planning

• Law enforcement and investigations

• Emergency management and incident command

• Security and protective services

• Mining and heavy industry

• Governance, assurance and compliance functions

• Health, safety and risk leadership roles

While the disciplines above often use different terminology, they consistently reinforce several common themes:

• People influence outcomes.

• Systems influence outcomes.

• Controls influence outcomes.

• Leadership influences outcomes.

• The environment influences outcomes.

Success and failure emerge from the interaction of all of them.

These principles underpin the Secura Consulting approach.
