Negotiation Skills for Untrained Negotiators

You are the CEO of a company trading in the Middle East.  You have representatives in-country.  Imagine the telephone ringing late one night and you hear a voice on the other end informing you that one of your Engineers has been kidnapped.  You have 12 hours to arrange payment or he dies.  Tell the police and he dies. 

What do you do?

It is estimated that there are over 20 000 reported kidnappings worldwide per annum.  These may range from high profile business individuals or their loved ones or employees to a small child snatched in a custody dispute.

Kidnappers may fall into many varying categories and their motivations may be blurred by emotions, politics or finance.  Whatever the case, it is critical that the correct techniques are employed by those conducting negotiations in order to guarantee the safe return of the kidnapped individual. 

From our Glasgow location, ASIC Ltd. can deploy trainers worldwide to provide bespoke theoretical and/or practical training to individuals or groupings who may be the likely First Responders to a Hostage Scenario.
