Preparedness Matters

A Message From CEO

KGH is a certified Woman-Owned Small Business built by practitioners, for practitioners — professionals with deep, earned experience across law enforcement, intelligence, the military, risk management, and emergency preparedness.
We are a company of pracademics: people whose hands-on expertise is sharpened by academic rigor and grounded in a relentless sense of mission. We are driven by common values, thoughtful partnership, and a deeply felt responsibility to make the world safer — for this generation and those that follow.
      "Security sense is common sense — and a common responsibility."
That belief sits at the core of everything we do. We operate at the intersection of fear and fact — a place we've navigated to after training thousands of individuals across the United States and its territories. That experience gave us a visceral understanding of the need for enhanced awareness of behavioral indicators and a prepared, resilient mindset.
It's why we created Preparedness Without Paranoia® — a proven approach that moves individuals and organizations from confusion to clarity, from vulnerability to resilience. From the classroom to the boardroom, it replaces single-threaded tactical fixes with something more durable: education, awareness, and a platform built for long-term preparedness and informed decision-making.
OUR EXPANDING MISSION
AI Research
Deep, applied research at the frontier of AI risk and security
Healthcare Resilience
Risk mitigation and resilience solutions for healthcare environments
First/Second/Third Responders 
Technical and tactical support for those on and behind the front lines
We also walk our talk. KGH proudly supports nonprofit organizations dedicated to ending breast cancer, honoring our Veterans, and fighting the devastating impact of human trafficking.
The pathway to preparedness is paved with education — and we are committed to that journey, every step of the way.

The Knowledge Vault

Kiernan Group Holdings developed a Knowledge Vault, designed to be a living repository of state of the practice capabilities across the public and private sector. The center of gravity is organized around a construct of preparedness, response, recovery and resiliency of organizations, large and small. There are a lot of companies that do that-how we do it is the element which sets us apart from this crowded space.  We believe that preparedness is a mindset which when enabled and practiced, transcends all areas of life: where we work, where we live, where we serve, where we learn, where we travel and where we seek recreation. Threat vectors and actors change and evolve quickly, thus preparedness along a continuum of the current threat (the now), the near term (the next) and the type of threat which will likely be orthogonally different (the after next) is how we look at the world.  

We provide a global network of talent that is globally mobile, language qualified, and cleared to enhance the situational awareness and preparedness of decision makers, enriched by a vast library of resources and supported with analytic and operational acumen.

Performance Through Partnerships

Kiernan Group Holdings maintains a range of dynamic partnerships with organizations in the law enforcement, military, intelligence, academic and private sector both domestically and internationally. These partnerships include national level organizations as well as small innovative companies developing new capabilities. We believe in service and actively support our veterans and organizations which raise funds to support much needed medical research. With maximum agility and the combined knowledge of our experienced subject-matter experts and practitioners, KGH has the capacity and the privilege to serve various organizations across a variety of markets.

                   

               

                        

                                

                                             

                                      

                    

Crafty Bastards Think Differently

What if we stopped scanning the horizon with binoculars and began instead examining our own decision-making and behavior through the most powerful of microscopes? I think that would change the way wars are fought, the kinds of products we see on the shelves, the kinds of movies that get made, the way police officers are trained, the way couples are counseled, the way job interviews are conducted, and on and on.”

~Malcolm Gladwell, Blink, 2005

 

Crafty Bastards Workshops

History has educated us about the nature of light and the speed at which it travels. At one juncture, white light was considered the absence of color when in fact it is the combination of all colors, which become visible when refracted. Like the refracted light, each has shades that require a deeper examination to reveal the true spectral composition. Similarly, Crafty Bastards Workshops (CBW) focus on an intensive discovery process to identify and exploit the full spectrum of ideas. Our workshops provide a highly specialized and dedicated environment of learning and discovery, as well as an in-depth exploration and exploitation of the myriad of highly complex problem-sets that threaten global stability and economic resiliency. These critically important issues range across an ever-widening spectrum, from disease to conflict to infrastructure warfare. The modus operandi of CBW is the combining—and, often, recombining—of disparate talent and highly knowledgeable expertise at a visceral level. The goal of each CBW is to identify strategic approach vectors that are realistic, comprehensive, and actionable.
