Organizations I Have Spoken To
Featured Topic: What Canada’s Spy Service does and why you need to know more about it!
Andrew Kirsch spent nearly a decade as an intelligence officer with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), serving as an analyst and investigator before ultimately leading teams on covert operations.
Drawing on stories from his career, Andrew gives a rare look inside Canada’s intelligence service, what it’s really like to be a Canadian spy and how intelligence operations work (and sometimes don't). He explores how people and organizations are identified and targeted, how intelligence is gathered, and how vulnerabilities can be exploited to gain access to people, places and information.
Along the way, Andrew connects those experiences to the security challenges we face today and what understanding the offensive side of security can teach us about protecting ourselves and our organizations.
Leadership and Decision Making: When the chips are down, are you ready to make the tough decisions
What happens when a decision needs to be made quickly, the information is incomplete and the consequences matter?
Drawing on his experience in intelligence operations and security, Andrew explores how people and organizations make decisions under pressure. Through real-world stories, he looks at the role of preparation, communication, trust and judgment when circumstances don't go according to plan.
The presentation challenges audiences to think about how they and their organizations would respond when faced with difficult decisions, competing priorities and uncertainty — before they find themselves having to make those decisions for real.
