At MitKat’s EMEA Risk Symposium 2025, Bruce McIndoe, Senior Advisor at MitKat Advisory, emphasized that a well-structured Travel Risk Management (TRM) policy is critical for ensuring compliance, security, and well-being. While legal and compliance factors drive TRM policies, he highlighted the growing need to focus on traveler well-being, especially in today’s continuous crisis environment. Global disruptions, from geopolitical conflicts to weather-related travel delays, significantly impact business travelers and executives, making mental health considerations—such as travel fatigue, safe lodging, and work-life balance—essential components of TRM policies. Technology plays a vital role in modern travel risk management by monitoring and delivering real-time updates to both travelers and organizations. For companies managing large-scale travel operations, technology is indispensable in ensuring situational awareness and crisis response. In high-risk travel scenarios, companies must first evaluate if travel is necessary and, if unavoidable, implement risk mitigation strategies. Digital tools such as online training modules, awareness programs, and tracking applications are essential for preparing travelers and ensuring their safety in volatile regions. The most critical aspect of high-risk travel security is multimodal communication—ensuring that travelers have multiple ways to request help in case of emergencies. Organizations must establish redundant channels for assistance, whether for medical, security, or logistical support. Real-time tracking and mandatory app-based monitoring for employees traveling to high-risk regions ensure swift intervention when required. Bruce reinforced that proactive, technology-driven solutions are indispensable for modern travel risk management, allowing organizations to anticipate threats rather than react to crises.

The World Trade Center Institute AGILE Innovation Series covered a timely topic last night - "Empowering Global Disaster Response with Tech" I really enjoyed supporting this #AGILE session and having the networking event after to continue the engagement to address individual questions and ideas. Jason Michael Perry did a great job of moderating and my fellow panelists Ryan Miller, PMP, ARM-E (former Howard Country Emergency Manager) and Joel Thomas (CEO SPIN Global) were amazing with their insights from communities, counties and states to Federal and nation state perspectives. We have many reasons for hope with the range of existing and evolving technology to take on the mitigation, response and ultimately recovery of disasters. From my remarks, take 2 minutes and look at these houses and apartment buildings that were 3D printed and many fully functional in under 24 hrs! A Community of 50 #3DPrinted Homes Is Under Construction in Mexico popping out one 400 sq. ft. home every 24 hours. Check them out! https://lnkd.in/excTNeHq It was great to see so many professional Emergency Management practitioners join the meeting and bring their perspectives to the Q&A and mingle time. Thanks WTCI and Jason for both raising the topic and providing the opportunity to discuss something of importance to every individual both in our communities and nation as a whole.

The World Trade Center Institute WORLD LENS podcast has dropped. Michelle Evans and I discuss the idea floated by President Elect #Trump of acquiring Greenland (and the Panama Canal) by purchase or force. While the idea as presented is highly provocative and alarming by many (fully intended), the concept of adding "stars to the US flag" has been discussed by many thinkers over the last decade or more. In many presentations, I have discussed what a "Federation of the Americas" would potentially look like and the significant benefits to the entire western hemisphere. This is especially true as we see a shifting world order. This concept has been more fully developed by Thomas P.M. Barnett, PhD in his recently published book "America's New Map" (https://lnkd.in/e8_vzqtG) and you can follow him on Substack (thomaspmbarnett) - https://lnkd.in/e3JA3g-b.
