Cask, a leading global consulting partner of AXELOS Global Best Practice, is deploying its leading organization transformation model, aligned with the AXELOS best practice methodologies including RESILIA™. The Cask model helps organizations realise the benefits of deploying best practice through the disciplined coordination of leadership, readiness, engagement and governance activities.
This alignment will enable the key element of success for any organization – capable people. Speaking of the alignment, Cask vice president George Judd comments, “The deployment of RESILIA™ to achieve business and cyber resilience is all about people. People must think and act differently to gain the full benefit and achieve a positive return-on-investment. The real question organizations have to ask themselves is ‘How much judgement do our people have to execute effectively within our processes and across our technology?’ The more judgement required, the more discipline and learning you’ll need to apply to the people aspect of any transformation effort that aligns your people, process and technology.”
To orchestrate transformation, Cask uses a proven model that comprises of:
- Leadership – aligning the organization to expected outcomes and the plans to achieve those outcomes requires clear accountability for results throughout the organization.
- Readiness – ensuring people in the organization adopt new practices and technology through being motivated and ready to adopt and implement best practice frameworks.
- Engagement – giving people, practitioners, leaders and decision makers, a voice in designing and achieving the clarity of direction, alignment to organizational norms and benefits-based phasing that helps deliver the organization’s priorities effectively.
- Governance – identifying the incremental changes and governance required to maintain alignment with your plans, actual performance and operational lessons-learned.
Nick Wilding, head of cyber resilience at AXELOS said: ‘I’m delighted that Cask is partnering with our RESILIA cyber resilience best practice portfolio. Cyber risks are now recognized as one of the most serious risks to strong business performance, market reputation and customer confidence. RESILIA helps to equip all people with the knowledge to act on cyber security risks and give renewed confidence in exploiting the opportunities for growth and innovation in the digital age. The experience and expertise Cask has in leading and delivering transformational change through best practice frameworks and capable people will stand out in the market.”
