CSO | Cyber-Physical Security Strategy & Enterprise Risk Leader
Navigating complexities of the modern world can be challenging, especially for security professionals enduring continuous unapologetic change.
At Portcullis Modern, we understand the value of simplicity and the need to embrace change and growth while staying true to ourselves and our business history. As the founder of Portcullis Modern, I am honoured to share our values and business ambition to help you make sense of critical opportunities and approaches to prepare and align for your future.
Understanding executive expectations, value, and strategy is imperative to succeed in today's global business environment. By understanding organizational priorities and corporate strategy, we can better align our security function and improve adoption rates, proficiency, and benefits realization.
But implementing change takes work. Resistance is natural, so it's equally important to understand the reasons behind it. By putting people first and applying a structured approach through security organizational change management, we can prepare, support, and empower individuals for sustainable transitions.
When presenting crucial information to executives, focus on the bigger picture and relate it to the immediate impact on operations. Create a story that aligns the situation and the issues to the broader organization and make recommendations that guide forecasted outcomes.
Remember that results are only measurements; focusing on the inputs, efforts, intention, performance, and attitude that lead to desirable results is most important. We can further capitalize on successes and prepare for the future by leveraging information from our misses and gains.
At Portcullis Modern, we believe in embracing change and growth while staying true to ourselves. We can succeed and grow in this ever-changing world by understanding executive expectations, valuing change management, and fulfilling results.
