Check these shady bast4rds out. This company is stuffed with British establishment suits (Lord so-and-so, Sir what'shisface, etc) and recommend attaching their psy-ops unit to the Head of State. Anyone else want to bet they are an MI6 front as well as psy-op service?

Strategic Communication Laboratories has pioneered a new methodology to enable governments and countries to manage their relationships with their key audience groups through more powerful communication.
The methodology is based on 16 years of academic research and development conducted at 42 universities around the globe. It uses scientific techniques from a variety of social sciences to make ‘communications with groups’ far more effective (and measurable).
SCL offers various solutions based on this methodology to help countries in specific governmental areas such as defence, foreign affairs, internal security, health, finance and tourism.
In a world where the perception is the reality, all countries need to have the capability to manage their own perceptual alignment – otherwise someone else will.

| Quote: | What is an Op Centre?
An Opcentre is a command facility for strategic communications.
In this always-ready environment researchers can identify target audiences using highly advanced statistical models, strategists can orchestrate campaigns using the most effective scientific methods and media producers have access to innovative production techniques.
These units of expertise combine to create one of the most dynamic and influential ‘weapons' in the world.
An Opcentre puts influence, control and power back into the hands of the government and military, giving them greater power to influence the enemy in time of conflict and enhanced access to their citizens during a crisis. For instance, an Opcentre can be designed to override all national radio and TV broadcasts, allowing the government and military to communicate with the public as the need arises.
The Opcentre is a formidable tool for Homeland Security, Conflict Reduction, International Public Diplomacy and un-mediated Government communications. |

What can the OpCentre do?
* Launch a powerful psyop campaign against an engaged enemy
* Engender support within the national community for proposed military action
* Re-engineer foreign perceptions to potentially avert conflict altogether
* Develop national resilience and behavioural compliance for homeland security issues
* Produce powerful public diplomacy campaigns for political, economic, military issues
* Maintain an ‘always ready' public communication command centre for critical incidents
* Develop more effective public information campaigns for social and health issues |

| Quote: | History
Strategic Communication Laboratories (SCL) is the world’s first provider of strategic communication solutions that can change minds, reduce casualties and manage major incidents.
Our History
Formed in 1993, SCL is a successful project company with 12 years experience of managing and executing military and humanitarian strategic communication campaigns for governments worldwide.
Its customers include NGOs, police departments, military forces, municipal authorities, and the UN.
During this time the company has invested nearly $20 million into research at the Behavioural Dynamics Institute (BDi), the world’s leading authority on persuasion, communication psychology and public diplomacy. The powerful new methodologies developed from this research are proprietary to the company and have allowed SCL to help its clients achieve outstanding results through the use of strategic communications.
SCL was formed as an agency that did not rely on creativity (such as advertising) for results, but on proven scientific method. The demand for the agency grew out of the failure and frustration many clients experienced when trying to apply traditional marketing techniques to non-commercial issues, such as resolution of wars and civil strife, strike aversion, international crises and riot control.
SCL’s management board comprises: Chairman Rt Hon Sir Geoffrey Pattie PC, Chief Executive Nigel Oakes, Directors - Alex Oakes and Alexander Nix, and advisory board members Rear Admiral John Tolhurst CB, Peter Varnish OBE, Dr Andrew Stewart, Lord Birdwood and Lord Ivar Mountbatten.
Funding for SCL has been provided by a number of private high net worth individuals all based in the UK.

| Quote: | Solutions
Strategic Communication uses powerful tools to achieve important objectives in many government departments.
* Defence
* Internal Security
* Finance
* Foreign Affairs
* Health
* Tourism
* Head of State
Defence
As the world moves further away from the 20th century concept of the Cold War, it becomes increasingly clear that the very nature of warfare itself has changed. The old style conflicts were about overpowering the enemy and winning ground. The new wars are about ideas, belief systems and ideologies. The battle is no longer about winning territory; it is about winning minds.
Many military organisations are now realising that their ability to manage the perceptions and behaviour of their friends and foe is critical to the successful outcome of a conflict.
* Psychological Operations (PSYOPS)
* Civilian Affairs
* Public Diplomacy
* Public Affairs
* Military Deception
* Media Management
SCL provides the infrastructure, facilities and training necessary to enable a country to deploy advanced strategic communications solutions.
Internal Security
Almost every country suffers from some problematic faction within its citizens. These disaffected groups may be driven by religious fervour, self-importance or just greed. In all cases, their ability to operate and recruit new members depends on the perceptual environment and the levels of tolerance of the state and its citizens.
SCL specialises in producing solutions for governments so that they can significantly increase their control and management of disaffected groups as part of a wider counter-terrorism programme.
* Public Unrest
* Insurgency
* Crowd Management & Riot Control
* Counter - Terrorism Psychological Operations
* Crisis Public Affairs
Finance
Financial markets are driven primarily by fear and greed. However, even material facts have to be interpreted within the prevailing market perceptions. If the financial market develops the wrong perceptions, it can seriously damage market price. This is true both for long-term market pricing and for short–term situations (such as recovery from a critical incident.)
* Financial Markets Perception Realignment
* Critical Incident Financial Management & Recovery
* Investment Alignment Programmes
Foreign Affairs
The relationship a country has with its neighbours and other international states is critical to its wellbeing. Not only can poor relationships effect trade, industry, exports and even tourism, but serious disagreements can fuel conflicts, encourage separatism and may even end in war.
Making private deals behind closed doors was the most favoured diplomatic method for resolving conflicts. Now the deal has to be made with the people, not just the senior diplomats. Having the ability to influence international audiences at the public level is a powerful capability for a country to have as part of its international programme.
* International Relationship Management
* International Civil Affairs
* Public Diplomacy
* Emergency Public Diplomacy
Health
Health Ministries around the world commit significant resources to protecting the health of their citizens. However, at the end of the day it is the public that must be convinced to adopt ‘the prescribed solutions.” How have the public responded to anti-smoking campaigns?
With the anticipated outbreak of a new strain of influenza – avian or otherwise – will your citizens behave in the most appropriate way or will they scatter, thereby virtually guaranteeing a national epidemic.
Whether for long-term or short-term campaigns, health programmes need to be communicated in such a way that the peoples’ behaviour actually changes.
SCL can provide Health Ministries with the capability to manage health change and control population expectations in times of epidemic outbreak.
* Chronic Illness reduction Programmes
* Epidemic Contingency Management
* Behavioural Alignment Programmes
* National Immunisation Management
Tourism
For some countries, tourism is a vital industry and a major shift in tourist attitudes could be disastrous– and vice versa. With the ever-present risk of a terrorist attack, it is important that the governments has carefully prepared contingency plans so that any incident can be mitigated with the least impact on the tourism industry.
Equally, the tourism department or ministry must have accurate intelligence about what foreign audiences really think about your country. A full and detailed perceptual analysis of your international target markets can radically increase the power of your advertising and support marketing.
SCL provides tourism departments and ministries with the capability to analyse their international audiences for themselves, so that they can have more control over the tourist relationship, both in term of growth and critical incident.
* Tourism Growth Campaigns
* Critical Incident Contingency
* Long Term Perceptual Alignment Programmes
Head of State
We live in a world of communication, where perception is very often the reality. Those individuals that control the perceptions are the ones that control virtually everything. Most modern conflicts are based on misaligned perceptions, ideologies, opinions about religion, etc. If a government does not have the tools to manage the perceptions which effect security, defence, finance, tourism, health and foreign relations, then it may well find itself at the mercy of those that do.
Although SCL offers specific solutions for different government departments, it really makes most sense for our installations to be attached to the office of the Head of State. This is because communication is not department specific. What a defence minister says one day can effect the financial markets the next. An over-zealous health minister can impinge tourism growth.
The relationships that a government must manage between the groups of people that really matter are the arteries that keep the government in power. Any major disruption in the relationship with any one of the groups could be catastrophic for a country.
Furthermore, each audience group needs to be constantly monitored so that potential problems can be resolved before they become too great. Group behaviour needs to be analysed so that scenario planning teams can recommend to a Head of State exactly what to do in case of a crisis.
SCL provides permanent installations to governments so that these vitally important relationships can be managed and controlled. These installations are equipped with the most advanced technology and trained personnel (consultants initially and then locals) so that a Head of State can have significantly more control over the various groups and audiences than was possible before.
We live in a global village, which is reliant on communication and perception. Every country needs the tools to be part of that game. |
