Anthony Franks : Managing Director (Security and Intelligence), Kroll Security International is among speakers at the RUSI conference Managing Information Asymmetry.
When it comes to managing information, today’s decision-makers face unprecedented challenges and opportunities, the two-day event organisers – the Whitehall-based institute’s homeland security and resilience department – say. Continual multi-source global media coverage, huge increase in web-based sources, massive data storage capabilities and competition between an array of information providers can create the excess of potentially valuable resources known as ‘information asymmetry’.
How information producers and consumers meet this challenge can be the crucial decider between both success and failure in business, and life and death in the provision of security. How and from whom can the advantage of timely, accurate, actionable information be gained? How are information providers improving the ways in which they collate and analyse their product?
Other speakers on November 15 and 16 include Howell James : Permanent Secretary, Government Communications, UK Cabinet Office and BBC presenter Nik Gowing.
