Lesson Plan

Structured
Workshop Lessons

There are seven immersive skills sessions that underpin this course. Accompanied by powerful simulation-based activities during the workshop, that simulate real life security challenges.

1. Why Alliance Matters

Learn why security depends on strong cross-business alliances and how shared ownership accelerates action.

2. Mapping the Security Network

How to map security’s actual relationship footprint across the business and identify where trust, understanding and collaboration are weak.

3. Building Advocacy

How to identify supporters, adversaries, conspirators, disciples and fence-sitters - and tailor your influence approach accordingly.

4. Decoding Stakeholder Positions & Interests

How to read both public behaviour and private intent to understand what each stakeholder really wants from security.

5. Understanding Human Drivers of Pushback

How to reduce emotional threat, create psychological safety, and turn confrontations into collaboration.

6. Building Goodwill & Credibility

How to strengthen security’s reputation through consistent deposits of goodwill, reliability and shared wins.

7. Negotiating Shared Ownership of Security

How to achieve win–win outcomes and establish shared responsibility instead of security acting alone.

Security often struggles not because of weak controls, but because the people who own the risk aren’t engaged. Frontline teams are stretched, first-line teams juggle priorities, and leaders can see security as friction rather than shared responsibility.

​

This course tackles the human and organisational barriers that block collaboration. Practitioners learn how to work with busy stakeholders, read their motivations and shift perceptions of security from policing to partnership.

 

By the end, you’ll be building stronger alliances across the business, increasing shared ownership, and reducing resistance. Creating faster, more effective security outcomes.
 

A one-day practitioner experience that sharpens your influence, strengthens trust across the security network and builds the alliances needed to drive security adoption.

Six Tiers.

Security Excellence.

Next Generation Security Practitioner is not just a training programme - It's  a transformational learning Arc.

 

NGSP courses mirror the real challenges security teams face - moving from identifying risk to influencing decisions, building alliances, and executing under pressure. Training that transforms practitioners from technical contributors into strategic operators who can read the landscape, align to the business, and lead with credibility.

Driving Capability - Not just knowledge

 

  • Building a stronger bridge between security and the business.

  • Turning data into decisions.

  • Increasing resilience not slowing progress.

  • Creating a culture where security is instinctive.

Not Theory -  An immersive practical experience

​

You’ll learn by doing  - live simulations that recreate the real-life security situations. No lectures. Just the tools, mindsets, and behaviours that better outcomes. All our courses will earn you 10 CPE hours.
