Episode 51 — Sequence initiatives for maximum impact with minimal organizational friction
Effective sequencing involves planning the order of security projects to ensure maximum risk-reduction impact while causing the minimal amount of organizational friction. This episode addresses the "human element" of implementation, discussing how to space out high-impact changes to avoid overwhelming the workforce or technical teams. We define "friction" as the operational disruption that occurs when new security controls clash with established business processes or user habits. For the exam, candidates should know how to identify "enabler" projects—those that provide immediate security benefits while actually making work easier for employees, such as single sign-on (SSO). Best practices involve coordinating with other IT and business departments to find "quiet windows" in the corporate calendar for major rollouts. By sequencing for impact and ease, you foster a culture where security is viewed as a supportive partner rather than a barrier to innovation.
