Find Trends in Your Profession
Transcript
It’s Monday morning and CyberTech branches in multiple cities are about to teleconference with executives from the main office. Your coworkers are buzzing. What’s this about, asks a coworker. I’m not sure. They just called the conference a few minutes ago, says another coworker. We’re on with the San Francisco office, says a third coworker. OK, shh, they’re starting, says one of the coworkers. Good morning. Let me get straight to the point. Our chief information officer is no longer with us. We will be looking for a replacement, but we need to do some preparation first. I’d like your team to do some research on emerging trends in our industry. We know the questions we’ll ask, but I’ll need specific info from your team on trends to make sure candidates are giving us the right kinds of answers. For example, what would each candidate do to prepare for the risks to our networks? Have they thought of mitigation strategies? What tools would they use? What are the policies, techniques, and compliance needs we should consider? One last thing, I’d like you to share your findings at our upcoming planning meeting. You glance at your team and think, this is a big assignment. Your information sources are important, so I want you to keep track of your sources. Good luck. After the meeting, your team gathers near your desk to talk. Guys, the CEO basically just asked us to help hire our new boss, says a coworker. I guess she did, didn’t she? We have our work cut out for us, says another coworker. You join your team in excited discussion about this new assignment and volunteer to start the reference list so you can keep track of your sources. You’re going to get started later today.
