Since Left of Bang (the book) was published, the threats facing communities have shifted—and so has how the core concepts are applied.
This article explores the evolution of the methodology and its continued relevance today.
Executives bear a responsibility that no dashboard, sensor, or automated tool can replace: recognizing when today is not like yesterday.
This article examines the unique responsibilities public safety leaders and corporate security executives bear in spotting the subtle convergence of threats and hazards that can shift an ordinary operating environment into one with extraordinary risk.
The way the Colorado Department of Agriculture’s inspectors and investigators learn to recognize threats is what we had in mind when we first transitioned our Tactical Analysis Course to an online format.
This case study shows how the agency blends video-based training with agency-led discussions to embed the concepts from Left of Bang into its organizational culture and daily routines.
Operational leaders face a constant challenge when preparing their organizations and teams for an uncertain future: the effort often depends on the support and buy-in of senior executives and peers. Unfortunately, sometimes this support only comes when something has gone wrong.
🔒For Paying Subscribers: This article looks at ways to get left of bang to the next disaster, disruption, or crisis, the minute an executive says, “We can’t let that happen again.”
Getting blindsided by events—whether it’s a missed opportunity or a costly surprise—frustrates even the most patient executives.
This article introduces the “Rumsfeld Matrix” framework, which can help CEOs and senior executives identify why surprises occur and provide clear, tactical steps to position their organization “left of bang” and operate with strategic foresight.
The Strategic Briefing is a facilitated, interactive session designed to help leadership teams define their future environment—mapping the trends, threats, and opportunities that will shape their world—and begin building the strategy to thrive within it.
This is the essence of getting Left of Bang: anticipating what could happen, deciding what success looks like, and positioning your organization to achieve it.
