Project 1:
Preparing for a Speech Before a Security Professional
Organization
Scenario:
You are the Corporate Security Director for a Fortune 500
company
and a recognized leader in the security profession. You accept
an invitation to speak at the ASIS International Seminar and
Exhibits about the various security operational and other
challenges with which organizations are confronted in
protecting assets and possible solutions. Because of your
expertise, you are asked to discuss in detail a security
director's various professional responsibilities in today’s
world, including loss prevention, investigation, administrative,
and managerial functions and the critical skills required of a
security director to fully succeed in accomplishing the
protective mission. You are also asked to address the
importance for a security director to develop strong working

2. relationships with various internal and external entities and
provide examples how these associations will promote a
successful security operation.
Writing Assignment:
After conducting the appropriate academic research using at
least three different sources, write a speech that
comprehensively addresses the following:
(1) Provide a “welcome” statement and a strong introduction
describing to the audience the purpose of your speech.
(2) Identify and discuss the current operational and other
challenges confronting security directors and possible solutions
to those challenges.
(3) Identify and discuss
in detail
a security director's various professional responsibilities in
today’s world, including loss prevention, investigation,
administrative, and managerial functions.
(4) Identify and discuss the critical skills required of a
security director to fully succeed in protecting an
organization’s assets.
(5) Identify and discuss the significance in establishing strong
internal and external relationships to meet security operational
objectives and provide examples of the individuals and groups
with whom partnerships must be forged.
(6) Provide concluding remarks that summarize your
presentation and close your speech with an invitation for the
audience to participate in a question/answer discussion
session.

3. Note:
One or more of your research sources
may include
interviews with properly documented
private sector security professionals
in a position to respond to the types of questions required to
ascertain the information to write this speech. Students will
identify these individuals and their titles to the course
instructor
one week before
the project due date. Also, in organizing your written speech,
you should consider using short sub-titles (e.g., Operational
and Other Challenges and
Solution
s; Loss Prevention Role; Investigation Role; etc.) for distinct
areas cited above so you do not inadvertently omit a project
requirement.
