Tranquility, once upon a time was a period where we learned from and maintained physical literatures. We harnessed our trait via physical appliances and the obtained knowledge/skillset was once a charitable art.
Now, the age of digital and virtualization has depleted the art of mastery. We now strive on wizards that pampers the ability for a hardened solution. We no longer read documentation, we search and seek sections out. Our pallet for a true end state has been tempered.
Companies are facing the decade old question, resource management. How does a company balance its security needs when priorities spiral or oscillates from time to time? How do you groom that specialist amongst a sea of generalist and devote the necessary time?
There are solutions that reigns in the complexity and allows for the enjoyment and maturation of the fruits of the modern-day digitalization. The fundamental approach starts with a strategy that
- Encapsulates the vision or architecture.
- Endures the process in a patient manner.
- Discipline enough to honor enforcement.
The 3 core principles mentioned above, are no longer an assumption in the business world. In most cases the vision is present, while the other two are compromised or bartered.
Security is the protection of the intellectual property that nourishes the growth of the organization. The restoration comes to light when we can bottle the complexity of the era into a process that is void of expectation and situational handling.
As my mind is wondering, let me summarize the thought.
Hypothetically what is the difference between life and term life insurance? There are obvious distinctions, one is the cost of premiums, the other is duration of the contract. The end state is the ability to provide economic relief to destinated beneficiaries. Companies often opt for term life insurance as the essentials are in place.
- Low cost
- Commitment is not restricted.
- Flexibility to adapt to the changing times.
What I’m pointing out is that in order to move forward with this approach, there has to be a complimentary plan to enrich the process. Term life has the added burden of an additional investment to ensure longevity when compared to whole life.
Companies are starting to loosen the hand cuffs that are restricting progress, while battling cost. A company’s intellectual advancement is a factor of the following waterfall steps:
- Preliminary Design
- Detailed Design
- Coding and Unit Testing
- Integration
- Testing
- Deployment
- Enhancement agility
The last point illustrates and measures maturity. Can I build on the foundation that has been established?
