The Need For Change
The world is suffering from an increasing number of extreme weather events due to climate change and other impacts that affect many sectors of our economy including agriculture, the energy sector impacting the environment and the sustainability of all forms of life on the planet earth. Now industries and personal activities are having to adjust to this new environment.
The Internet and our system architectures are under increasing threat, increasingly complex and open to damage and extortion. Damage from events in the past few years have exceeded hundreds of millions in dollars for both cyberattacks and data breaches, many of them regarded as Black Swan events (also labelled as Failure of Imagination).
As we have with climate change, we need to look at how we can change our practices and strategies to help with coping with this changed environment. This website is my contribution to helping understand the changes we need to make in our businesses and in our IT architectures and business processes so organisations can continue to develop and operate in a sustainable (operationally) manner.
Hi,
I'm Greg Porter
My website is a commentary on current IT and business issues mainly focused on Board Directors and C-Suite executives (but also to include small business owners and professionals such as accountants and lawyers etc in the future), based on experience in a variety of industries and organisational types gained in nearly 5 decades (sounds better than nearly 50 years!).
My main objective is to assist you to more fully understand current issues and responses, and subsequently make improved decisions and strategies. Advice is available by way of access to a variety of newsletters, white papers, a blog on current issues, cyber security
advice (including questions and answers that need to be asked), lessons learnt from good and bad practice, regulatory requirements from ASIC and APRA. Other services include workshops, assessments and ongoing advisory services.
I encourage you to subscribe and join my colleagues and I on the journey to better governance, strategies and risk mitigation.

The major intent of this membership is to equip C-Suite Executives and Risk Managers with the relevant current and emergent issues, the questions to ask the organisation and themselves, some guidance on solutions as well as education through examples and discussions, with peers and other subject matter experts.

Professionals
Professionals can understand the current issues of IT and business in a larger context and appreciate the issues board directors need to consider and respond to especially to ASIC and other regulatory bodies.
Small Business
Small business has an entirely different set of issues to confront two larger organisations who have access to a much larger set of resources. However, there are a number of things that small businesses can do to survive in an ever changing environment. Over time, I set off principles and practice that will be developed for this site. In the meantime, membership will enable you to understand the issues at large in the current IT and business environment.
