My Opportunity and Challenge...and yours

I get a great opportunity and with it comes its challenges. Let me explain.

In my role as CEO of Watson Security, most of my interaction is with business owners, CEOs, government officials, building managers and a host of others "in charge" of their organization. This is great and I wouldn't change it for anything. We have some absolutely AWESOME CUSTOMERS and I personally look forward to going to work every day because of them.

The Opportunity. Because I generally speak to the "person in charge" I learn more about their overall goals and strategies and as such can work with my team to design the right security to help them achieve these goals. This is the best part of my day-to-day job - coming up with solutions to help them achieve their business goals.

The Challenge. Many times what is going on in the "field" of these companies isn't communicated up to the "person in charge" and as such we sometimes don't get the "whole story" to what is really needed and going on. The challenge is to make sure we have a long stream of communication from everyone that is involved in planning and implementing security solutions.

I share this with you to help you save you and your company both time and money. Make sure that what you, at the top of the organization, are planning and thinking about accomplishing is completely and thoroughly communicated to the implementation levels within the organization. This is where you find out what can be done and the best way to accomplish it. The more in sync, the less time spent and better the solution.
