Professor Sir David Omand GCB, Visiting Professor at the Department of War Studies, King's College, London, and Honorary Fellow at Corpus Christi College, will draw on his experience in defence, security, and intelligence, including as Director of GCHQ and UK Security and Intelligence Coordinator, as he discusses how to detect a looming crisis and extinguish it (or at least survive it with minimum loss).

As laid out in his new book, 'How to Survive a Crisis', Professor Sir David will speak from his own experience of crisis in government as well as historic examples such as Chernobyl, 9/11, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the Wanna Cry ransomware cyberattack. Following many remarkable years at the top of the security and intelligence world, he will offer a unique insight into how the latest intelligence strategies can help us survive the multiplying crises of the future, as well as allow us to spot them early and lessen their devastating consequences.
