Joseph P. Sammartano
CEO

"We will provide what is essential to effect real change in reducing your crisis exposure and the necessary tools to accurately test and monitor your contingency plans for a swift recovery.  Perhaps the most important element in our approach is that our efforts are designed so that a ROI can be measured especially in larger organizations with multiple divisions and offices. We identify issues and situations that could become a crisis, and too often already affect both productivity and profits."

Highlights of Joseph P. Sammartano who has made numerous TV appearances on network television news including ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, Time Warner, CNN and Extra TV as well as in print and radio.

"Preventing and Managing a Crisis until your Recovery is very personal to me as you will learn from my early experiences that started when still in college. I was part of the first group of individuals ever to experience and witness the affects of terrorism from 1969-74 at JFK International Airport during a period known as the beginning of Skyjacking, Hijacking and finally called Terrorism while employed by a major airline."

Later he served our country and was chosen to be the Physical Security Counter Terrorist Project Officer. In 1977 his research and strategies became Army Doctrine and supported the Pentagon's efforts in creating the elite Delta Force Team. One of his earliest and perhaps greatest challenge was designing the authority, jurisdiction, communication, command controls and relationships between the military, the FBI and the State Department.  His published works include more than a dozen books, field manuals, training circulars, and instructor's guides on subjects ranging from Terrorism, Physical Fitness for Women to Computer Security.

In 1981 he served as the executive in charge for all security, safety, logistic reporting, crisis and communication procedures including labor negotiations with a teamster local during the construction phase of the World Financial Center, which at the time was the world's largest commercial construction project.

In 1993 after becoming widowed, he embraced the saying "knowledge is power" by launching and producing the first live parenting call in radio talk show for the largest education system in the country, New York City. His goal was to help parents with their individual crisis of developing a love of learning in their children. He has served as an advisor/consultant/provider/contributor to various corporations, law enforcement and government agencies including the Office of the Mayor of NYC, the Human Resource Administration, and the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs. The later agency turned to him for a risk assessment and decision whether or not to allow a City venue be the host of the first U.S.visit by Salman Rushdie, the author of the Satanic Verses.

He was invited to speak and serve on the panel for the first Global Summit on Aviation Safety and Security in Washington, DC.  Another significant accomplishment was a strategy created under the authority of the FTA Federal Transportation Agency which was approved and deemed the model for the country in bus and rail revenue management. Other efforts include creating a strategy to deal with the crisis of drugs in schools and communities. He has been a guest at the White House to discuss a number of relative issues with Presidential staff as well as meetings with members of the ruling families of two foreign governments. 

For 2004 he will be the guest speaker at the Contingency Planning and Management Expo. The session and subject that will be presented is titled "A Diagnostic Guide for Improving your Organization's Crisis Preparedness."

Regardless of his own personal achievements see the credentials of our President and Chief of Technology as well as the perhaps unusual services headed by the Senior Vice President of the Physical Security Division.    

Our firm and all associates conduct themselves in a manner that is above reproach. This integrity is key to preserving the most valuable asset of this firm -- our advice.

"I put advice at the heart of our relationship. My objective for your organization is to expedite the transfer of our knowledge for your immediate success.
The President and myself will meet with your senior executives, managers and supervisors who can determine where you are prepared and where you are vulnerable."

We suggest the diagnostic tools learned not only be used by the above but that you invite members of other departments, functions, divisions, and job levels to complete them as well. Crisis Management in the proper vein offer tremendous competitive, profit opportunities and other advantages including the possibility of a ROI.

"Strategic tactical planning for expansion or reduction of manpower, labor disputes, events, violence in the workplace, turn arounds, increasing profits while improving productivity and communication, long term motivation of staff, maximizing the return on the investment, public affairs, security, private interest groups, reducing liability, privacy, negligence, consumer products, acts of God, acts by employees, confirming, testing or building teams of experts to handle immediately any crisis, are all but a few of the many elements that form a negotiated strategic partnership with our firm."

We have personalized special services to help your organization and staff be more productive, safe and healthy while at work and even while at home. Please contact us by e mail to begin the discussion.
