I wrote down my top ten list from The Great Conversation in Security that was held at the Center for Intelligent Buildings in Palm Beach Florida on February 20-21.

I wrote them down the weekend after the forum. I did not ponder them. I posted them quickly on LinkedIn. I wanted to get them out to the community and in that same spirit I post them “as-is” here on the community blog.

1. We have the “clay” within our people, processes and technology to create a highly integrated, near real-time risk, resilience and security program

2. We have the ability to be a whole and intentional leader and take others with us

3. Empathy does not require like or love: it requires being present: to hear and to understand

4. The future is a conveyor belt. It is a myth that we can catch it down the road

5. What and who are the “bumpers” that keep you on the path to value?

6. If you believe that public agencies and businesses are not tied at the hip; you are sorely mistaken. Take time to evolve your relationships with government knowledge workers

7. We spend a lot of time on transitioning from the military or government service into business. Is it time to serve our country once we serve our business?

8. Critical Event Management is not just a security protocol. Once it is understood it can be used to create a return to revenue from any operational or security incident

9. Workplace violence prevention starts with a guiding coalition of HR, Legal, ERM and Security

10. The worst outcome for a leader is to be boiled slowly and unconsciously overtime like a frog in a pan filled with cold water on a stove. What are we doing to practice personal resilience?

I think I would add another that we need to tease out further as we proceed through this year. It is evident to me that budget, resources and time are all constraining our efforts to evolve our technology platform. Which leads me to believe a new business model will emerge. It will “uberize”, as one executive said to me, the prevailing buy it, own it, maintain it model we have been working with since we described security as a lock on a door.

So I am looking for the community to begin to imagine a new model. What would it take for you to give up on the notion that you needed to own every piece of hardware and software that currently describes your platform? What if you subscribed to all of it? And it had to meet certain performance criteria or the subscription could be terminated. Your updates to the technology would be built in. Technology you didn’t own, you might be able to test to see if it fit your needs. You would own your own data. You just would not own the hardware and the software.

Imagine.
