Greetings and salutations. How is everyone doing? Did you get that thing done? Have you started that projected? Was that proposal sent? What's the weekend forecast?
Let's start from the bottom up: Banff. When looking for some travel inspo, the Canadian National Park popped out at us and virtually made us weep from all the nature feels. It might be a zillion miles away for a lot of us but don't underestimate how transformative it can be to just look at a crisp resolution of it. OK, fine, there's nothing like the real thing but we had a moment with the photo we found – which you'll find in 'Outlook'. Top hack: even though it is definitely NOT an engineered screensaver, it works a treat for a calming desktop item. Just sayin...
What else? Well, we are midway on a lot of projects at the moment, which can't be fully revealed (or else we'll have to do some nuking...joking!) but give us a few weeks and you'll see what's up. Hint: social engineering, high society and sustainability. All mutual exclusive ventures. Keep your eyes and ears peeled!
Hold tight.
Team E.

Social change leadership is what we do best. It's what makes our hearts beat faster. Let us reacquaint you with JTACC (Joint Taskforce for Anti and Counter Corruption) on their brilliance. The Joint Task Force for Anti and Counter Corruption Association (JTACC) is a US 501(c)3 who supports governments to tackle the illegal wildlife trade with a focus on the animal trade, illegal logging and illegal unregulated and unaccounted fishing (IUU).
The illegal wildlife trade is a sustainability issue. Vast fishing fleets are depleting the ocean of fish for consumption, destroying habitats of endangered species to harvest palm oil, and cocoa production is forcing children into slavery. JTACC’s work in Africa is helping governments develop strategies to challenge the industrial-scale destruction of the environment and networks that supply foreign markets with illegally sourced produce.
Their mission is to pursue the networks of people, companies, and facilitators that allow the estimated US$23 billion global illicit wildlife trade to thrive. We will be behind the scenes creating the awareness campaigns to #AbolishTheTrade on not just animal poaching but human trafficking the world over, too.

Allow us to take this moment to showcase one of our key services that is making some waves in Q4: Corporate Intelligence. Let's begin with a truism: knowledge is power. And a changing world requires trusted and experienced intelligence, security and communications. We have an international intelligence and security assistance and advisory division providing advisory and training support to governments, non-governmental organizations and private entities faced with organized violence, competitor targeting, corporate espionage and active sabotage. We give careful attention to the political, economic, cultural, religious, cyber and terrorism-related challenges throughout the world. With that knowledge, we design corporate-specific strategies to gain widespread popular support for the corporation’s efforts.
On top of that, we offer crisis management training that helps clients assess, manage, and respond appropriately to crises in all parts of the world. Our consultants, with over 15 years experience in some of the world’s hottest conflict zones, ensure they have the most current knowledge of the combat environment – this unique experience in incident response, wrongful detection, kidnaps-for-ransom, extortions and malicious product tampering, contributes to effective risk-management plans for our clients.

We know everyone says it's not all work, it's about play, too – and as much as we don't want to sound like a broken record, there is truth in the truism. Like we said earlier, we are all about ingesting the complex and the trivial in equal measure. In fact, we love nothing more than thinking deeply about the more 'playful' things in life. Read ' em and ponder away.
