Advies is vooral luisteren. Vaak is de oplossing al in een grove schets bedacht, maar weet onze opdrachtgever het niet goed te verwoorden of te onderbouwen voor besluitvorming. Of het ontbreekt aan draagvlak voor een moedige besluit of om nu eens echt 'uit of the box' te denken.
My strength lies in formulating and presenting advice in such a way that our client does gain support from their decision makers and achieves the desired results.
Er is niets leuker dan een mooi scenario voor een crisisoefening te schrijven met als resultaat dat de crisisteamleden na de oefening (vaak met een rode blos van inspanning) constateren dat 'deze oefening toch wel erg realistisch' was. En meestal met de toevoeging: 'dit moeten we toch aan gaan pakken'.
As a security professional, holding a security certification such as CPP, APP, PSP, PCI or CPO, distinguishes you from others. I really enjoy setting up and teaching preparation courses for these certifications. So win-win! And a success rate of more than 85% gives even more satisfaction.
This is Lynn's expertise.
