It's an Inside Job
Mapping Threats & Mitigating Risk: Advice on Building Organisational Resilience from a Former Detective & Soldier. Interview with Paul Henriksen.
Paul Henriksen has more than 20 years work experience from the Norwegian Armed Forces and the police, both in Norway and abroad, as military police NCO, police constable and head of investigations section.
He has a Bachelor in Police Studies from the Norwegian Police University College, with further education within general and digital investigation, readiness management, crisis management, pedagogy and organization and management.
Since 2017, he has been the COO of Einang Safety Consult, a consultant company that specializes in fire safety, HSE, readiness and leadership – both through courses within those fields and through consultant services.
The company specializes in making risk, consequence and vulnerability analyses for private and public businesses, including for fire departments and municipalities. An important part of the company's mission is to ensure the safety of businesses through focus on risk management and continuous improvement of processes related to fire safety, HSE, readiness and leadership.
In this episode, Paul and I explore the questions and issues around the following:
- What did you learn about yourself serving as an MP (military police) in Kosovo and Afghanistan?
- What did the rocket attacks in Kabul teach you about yourself and the human response to life-threatening situations?
- How do first responders and police officers psychologically deal with tragedy?
- How important is it to diffuse and debrief after a crisis or a threatening situation?
- How important is it to have a strong professional network and support system?
- What can individuals do to help themselves process heavy thoughts and emotions after experiencing a difficult situation?
- How do you define resilience – both on a personal and then organisational level?
- What should've the leaders and business owners know about mapping dangers and mitigating risk for their organisation?
