When one thinks about an Executive Driver, one may not immediately think about the complexities that the driver faces on a daily basis. But, the Executive Driver has a great deal of responsibility between his hands; the driver is responsible for the safety of themselves, the passengers and other vehicles on the road. Yet, the responsibilities, may include more than simply driving safely. In today’s business world, the driver is given the task of successfully executing their passenger’s daily plans and being a sort of concierge. To be an Executive Driver, in a fast-paced environment, the driver must possess “forward thinking”; how to plan alternative routes, constant and up-to-date vehicle maintenance and even potentially life-threatening, “what if”, situations. Scopus’s “Operational Driving” courses reflect these critical elements and integrated each into a rigorous, yet successful, framework. The Executive Driver is not simply, “another occupation”—it is a mindset.

Recently, an “Operational Driving” training course took place in Bucharest, Romania for Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC), a "Big 4" corporation with a network of firms in 157 countries with more than 184,000 people. The multiple day course was a great success. It was very exciting to witness the drivers improvements while, simultaneously, incorporating essential security techniques, learned through our Scopus instructors, which are integral for Executive drivers and thus the safety of all PwC employees.
