09.30 - 12.30 Peace Support Planning Excercise: Delivering effective and targeted IO in support of Stabilisation and Peace Support Operations

One of the key challenges for operations in a Stabilisation or Peace Support environment is developing an understanding of the influence factors required to propagate lasting stability and peace in the region. Mission success is linked to a robust and realistic Information Operations approach relying on effective and accurate Human Factors analysis. These components have proven to be fundamental to ensure successful planning and implementation within the operational space. Join Simon for an insightful presentation and an open discussion on how Information Operations should be integrated within the planning process and the challenges that have arisen in similar environments.

The workshop aims to provide insight to:

• How to plan for Information Operations effects within a complex PSO/Stabilisation environment
• Enhance your awareness of how Human Factors analysis can support decision making and provide broader more enduring effects
• Deliver clear, enhanced and measurable security solutions to very complex and sensitive environments
• Develop an effects-based approach that supports and delivers robust and cost effective Information Operations planning and delivery for PSO and Stab operations
