People ask, how much security do I need? Like with a car, brakes are not designed to make you stand still, they are designed to allow you to drive fast. Curious?
A new Risk Advisory firm in town
Starting a Risk Advisory firm that gives equal attention to the opportunities of risk has been my motivation to start Upside of Risk. Too often security risk management is seen as a restrictive, costly necessity which at best reduces risk or addresses regulatory compliance. But what about the strategic value of your risk management approach, when risk powers your ability to perform? When security supports or eventually becomes the business? Overlooked. But not for long.
My consultancy style is one of asking the right questions. I would like to use the sports metaphor. A good coach will bring out the best and let you win. And yes, if you don’t win you can always blame the coach.
One of the fascinations is security and resilience in the Extended Enterprise. In an ever more networked society and business environment, security and risk management goes beyond the legal entity. Security of the value chain, or security by proxy if you like.
