  • Alasdair MacKinnon · Research and Collections Analyst, Seerist
  • Mark Shortman · Partner and Global Head of Operational Security, Control Risks

The Middle East conflict is generating ripple effects across global operations, from supply chains and travel to staffing and geopolitical exposure. If your team is still waiting for events to unfold before acting, this webinar is for you.

Listen to Seerist Research and Collections Analyst, Alasdair MacKinnon, and Control Risks Partner and Global Head of Operational Security, Mark Shortman, for a live discussion on how leading organizations are shifting to proactive intelligence.

During the 12-day war of 2025, organizations failed not because of a lack of intelligence, but because their analysis didn't connect to action. This session breaks down how leading organizations use pre-agreed thresholds and trigger maps to move faster.

Recap

Key takeaways

  • A current-state assessment calibrated for operational decision-making
  • A structured framework for turning current events into actionable future-state scenarios
  • Real-world examples of how organizations are making operational decisions on travel, staffing, facilities, and supply chain
  • Practical guidance on building a proactive intelligence function, not just reactive alert-monitoring

"Stop treating your intelligence function as a reporting function. Reporting tells you what happened. Decision support tells you what to do about what might happen."
