Cybersecurity is a business issue, not a technical one, according to 88% of boards of directors surveyed. In fact, cybersecurity is now the number-one spend item on the technology investment list.

To thrive in the new environment, cybersecurity must be treated as a business decision. Organizations must stop investing in security tools and start investing in outcomes.

Treating cybersecurity as a business decision requires aligning protection levels with desired business outcomes to drive business-led cybersecurity investment. CIOs and senior IT executives must be able to communicate the risks, value and cost of cybersecurity to their board of directors.

In this cybersecurity webinar, Paul E. Proctor, (LinkedIn profile) Gartner VP Distinguished Analyst looks at the 16-cybersecurity value and outcome-driven metrics. We explore how you can use these to work with your board to design a cybersecurity investment strategy that drives business outcomes.

Discussion Topics:

• Discover how to treat cybersecurity as a business decision
• Understand how to communicate outcome-driven metrics to your board of directors
• Assess protection needed, willingness to spend, and how these outcomes drive key success metrics for the organization

In OCM, the most common mistake is to focus only on transitioning to the new systems or processes and not on the people.

People are the single most important factor that drives successful change adoption. Organizations that fail to deliver their strategic initiatives often find the lack of stakeholder involvement and engagement counterproductive.

Stakeholders view proposed changes through their beliefs and perceptive filters. They often see projects as untenable headwinds, so making the business case for the project is much easier than making the subjective What’s In It For Me (WIIFM) case. Your mind has to arrive first!

Successful projects require a prescriptive approach driven by Transformational Leadership and Organizational Change Management so that adoption, usage, and proficiency occur.

During this session, learn the difference between change and transformation and why the latter is preferred.

 Dr. Patricia Anderson (LinkedIn profile) will teach you about the different leadership and OCM practices to engage in through the project phases and which to avoid.  Learn how to move from the abstract to the “why” and then on to the concrete “how” we’re going to change and drive successful project outcomes.
