When we surveyed hundreds of risk professionals, a staggering 72% considered their company to be most vulnerable in cybersecurity. So, it’s no surprise that auditors are frustrated evaluating the effectiveness of cybersecurity programs across industries when their mandate is entirely about assurance.

This McKinsey article titled The expanding role of design in creating an end-to-end customer experience got me thinking. Dangerous I know, nevertheless this is what I came up with. 

I recently blogged about Leading through Complexity and spoke of the need for leaders to add to their business acumen with scientific method and a vivid imagination.

Every actor has a shelf life; several stars that became superstars and reined the hearts of millions fade away into oblivion as time passes.

Stardom is temporary, and so is their career as an actor. The immense success they get and the wave of popularity they generate are used by brands and companies to pitch their products to the public.

You know the drill. You go to a website and it says “Log In With Facebook.” or Google. Usually, it just takes a couple of clicks and no logging in with other usernames or passwords. However, when you do this, Facebook essentially becomes your online identity. This means that anyone who knows these credentials have access to your
