Workshop Lessons
Lesson Plan
Security teams that enforce policy meet resistance. Those who diagnose problems, collaborate and guide the business earn trust and create impact.
Practitioners often jump to solutions too fast, missing the real issue beneath the surface. Conversations become tense or unclear, and stakeholders fail to see the value. Without a consulting mindset, security becomes an enforcer instead of a partner.
This course will help you sharpen the questioning, framing and problem-solving skills needed to act as a trusted advisor and co-build practical, business-aligned security solutions.
A one-day applied consulting workout that enhances your diagnostic accuracy, strengthens problem solving and positions you as a trusted advisor.
