Focus Group is a diversified, intelligence-driven risk management company. We advise on, execute, and deliver risk management solutions using a holistic and proactive approach with the objective of assisting our clients to become more resilient in an increasingly complex, global, and digitised risk environment.
Focus Group has over two decades of hands-on experience dealing with complex risk and security situations. We provide risk mitigation solutions to multinational companies, financial institutions and private clients at strategic decision-making and operational levels to identify, understand and mitigate risk as well as to adequately respond to crisis situations. Our approach is based on a wide and well-established information network and a deep appreciation for the cultural complexities, diversity, and nuances of the countries we operate in.
We have developed an extensive on-the-ground HUMINT network within our Africa footprint. Our operations have spanned various industries with particular focus on Sub-Saharan, Central and Eastern Africa.
Our Directors at Focus Group bring together decades of expertise in security, intelligence, criminology, and risk management, with professional roots spanning military service, academia, and corporate leadership.
Their collective experience covers operational planning and execution across multiple continents, from high-risk environments in Africa and the Middle East to complex commercial projects in the USA. This leadership team possesses deep sector knowledge in industries such as mining, oil and gas, anti-poaching, and large-scale infrastructure, alongside specialist skills in intelligence analysis, data management, threat assessment, and operational coordination. Drawing on their experience, they provide strategic oversight, uphold rigorous operational standards, and ensure the delivery of innovative, effective solutions to meet client needs in challenging and dynamic environments.
Our in-house Information Managers bring decades of combined experience gained from numerous countries across multiple continents, operating in diverse and often challenging environments.
Their backgrounds encompass a broad spectrum of disciplines, enabling them to gather, verify, and probe critical information with precision and discretion. Leveraging their extensive field knowledge, they provide actionable insights that support informed decision-making, strengthen operational capabilities, and ensure clients remain equipped to navigate complex and evolving risk landscapes.
Our Intelligence Analysts form a highly skilled in-house team drawn from diverse professional backgrounds, including intelligence analysis (HUMINT and OSINT), data and risk analysis, criminology, political science, geospatial analysis, crisis monitoring, security analysis, and digital technologies. Utilising advanced analytical, mapping, and data management software, they apply industry-recognised practices alongside innovative processes developed through real-world project experience.
With specialist knowledge of continents across the globe, particularly Africa, they deliver nuanced, context-rich insights to address complex risk environments.
