Speaker Biograghy: Frank spent a career in the UK Home Office gaining broad insight into policy, working with Ministers (Private Secretary to the Immigration Minister); technology, including biometrics, mobile, encryption and passport security; international issues; and front-line operations, particularly in relation to law enforcement. Since ‘retiring’ he has continued to chair the EU working group on mobile solutions for law enforcement, ENLETS Mobile; and is an adviser to the Secure Identity Alliance (SIA), where he was the lead author in 2017 of an SIA overview of border security, ‘Strong Identity, Strong Borders’. Frank continues to take a keen interest in developments across the areas of technology, business and law enforcement. He is a technology and business ‘multi-national’, helping to bring different parts of the jigsaw puzzle together to solve problems and overcome differences.

Synopsis: Frank will review the progress made with mobile solutions for borders and policing; consensus and good practice as agreed by the ENLETS Mobile EU working group; what’s coming down the track next; and how we should be aiming to manage it for success. We’ll look at how mobile technology has advanced over the last 10 and more years; the clues about what will come next; and what we need to do to manage the opportunities for success.

Audience will learn:

• How much can we tell what is coming next? What are the clues?
• How do we gather consensus on good practice?
• Uncertainty is out there – how do we manage this kind of technology change for success?
