The Cloudscape GRC Landscape
Dec 9 2020
10:00 pm
45 mins
Brett Osborne, Security Architect/Translator, independent
The Cloudscape provisions a shared/split model for responsibility. This generally means that the cloud provider is responsible for certain layers of the environment. But the provided graphics are usually more IT focused than Information Security let alone Risk Management. The information security elements of cloud have been improving for years. However, there are still areas that are light in detail or clarity This presentation will take you on a deeper dive of Cloud GRC. This presentation will use the premise of Platform (PaaS) clouds, as this model provides a clear "bang for the buck". Other models (Infrastructure IaaS, Software SaaS) are do provide benefits, but at different specialization levels. In this conversation, we will discuss repercussions of the shared/split responsibility model. In this webinar you will learn:
· Viewpoint changes
· To distinguish shared responsibility and shared risk
· Changes to compliance and continuous monitoring
· Changes to Risk management and assessment from shared/split responsibility model
· and what you are (really) protecting

2021 Readiness: Balancing Security in a Post-COVID World
Dec 9 2020
5:00 pm
60 mins
Diana Kelley | Mark Weatherford | Ted Harrington | Amir Shaked
Earlier this year many companies experienced an incredible shift to fully remote work almost overnight, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This accelerated the "digital transformation" journey for many companies compressing what was a multi-year timeline into a few months and making 2020 different than any other previous year. In this episode we'll explore how the balance between security, privacy and productivity was tipped this year, and what can we expect to see in 2021 as some, but not all, organizations head back to office work with a post-pandemic mindset.
The audience will hear from CISOs and Security Directors about how this year was different, what they're going to do differently going forward, and what they expect (or have already seen) as organizations get back to pre-COVID levels.
Topics covered:
- 2020 in review
- The hard lesson that a mobile workforce is not the same as a remote workforce
- How the attack surface expanded and what CISOs are doing to ensure risk doesn't expand too
- How digital transformation sped up and what they meant for security, privacy and productivity
- During the speedy journey to the cloud - what mistakes were made?
- Lessons learned that will be carried forward for security teams
- What CISOs are doing to prepare for whatever 2021 may bring
- Mark Weatherford, Chief Strategy Officer and Board Member, National Cybersecurity Center
- Amir Shaked - VP, R&D, PerimeterX

AI, Vulnerability Scanning & Implementing Your Cloud Security Strategy
Sep 24 2020
61 mins
Moderator: Tejasri Devarapalli; Richard Meeus, Akamai; Nabil Zoldjalali, Darktrace; John Aarsen, SonicWall;
Securing the cloud can be challenging for many reasons. From data breaches that result in excess spending and loss of trust, to implementing and maintaining a security strategy.
According to Gartner, the public cloud services market is expected to grow 17% in 2020. With this in mind, how can businesses secure their cloud access while adopting new cloud strategies? Some cloud security vendors have adopted AI and machine learning methods to protect against threats to the cloud.
According to Cybersecurity Insiders, less than a third of businesses are monitoring abnormal workforce behavior across their cloud footprint. This is alarming considering the significant increase in usage of cloud apps and collaboration platforms.
Join this expert panel where cloud security leaders will discuss:
- The key threats faced by businesses implementing cloud services
- How AI, autonomous response and machine learning can help to detect threats
- How vulnerability scanning can optimize your cloud security strategy

We will also discuss different international privacy standards, the new Schrems II, clarify pseudonymization and other data privacy techniques.
We will also discuss
• Data privacy and working remotely
• That GDPR does not apply to data that is no longer identifiable
• Pseudonymization used nationally, as well as for trans-border communication
• Pseudonymization use cases for privacy protection of personal health information
• Re-identification attacks, full and partial
• Extracting new information out of an anonymous or pseudonymous database through re-identification
• Linkage mechanisms
• The data de-classification process and workflow

Ben Rothke | David Mundhenk | Jeff Hall | Arthur Cooper "Coop"
Being left at the payment altar is not easy.
PCI DSS requirements 6.1 and 6.2 address the need to keep systems up to date with vendor-supplied security patches in order to protect systems from known vulnerabilities. But what do you do if you have an in-scope application and it is no longer supported by the vendor?
Many payment applications, gateway and software are long past end-of-life, yet still processing cardholder data. Can such a setup be PCI compliant?
This PCI Dream Team webinar will detail the issue, challenges dealing with unsupported hardware/software, and suggest strategies for compensating controls.
Our panelists are some of the top PCI QSA's in the country, with decades of combined PCI and card processing experiences. They've seen it all: the good, bad and ugly; and lived to tell the tale.

Srinivas Bhattiprolu, Global Head, Advanced Consulting Services, Nokia Software
Malware is a humungous force to be reckoned with, all the recent advances in technology did not retard the progress and impact associated concomitant to it. Malware actually rode the improving technology and made it its tool and an affiliate. Social network, e mail and mobile devices are becoming a major conduits to propagating malware of different types. Malware is becoming better at protecting itself. The development of technologies that enable malware to evade detection and analysis made it virtually unstoppable in infiltrating its high-value targets. Malware continues to be a problem for Communications Service Providers and their customers. The session introduces the history of malware, how it has evolved over a period of time. A threat ecosystem is an interdependency of different technologies and the people behind them that are vital to the success of an attack.
This presentation explains the threat ecosystem of malware. How malware impacts Communication Service Providers (CSPs). A view of malware activity in mobile and fixed networks around the world. Then the presentation will zoom in on IoT botnet activity that has increased substantially since the introduction of Mirai in 2016. Many of these IoT botnets leverage the basic architecture and functionality of the Mirai source code.
The presentation then elucidates the IoT botnet family tree, how a botnet works, how these spread and communicate with each other as well as command and control server. The presentation then highlights different variants of botnets and provides a high level overview of each variant. What are the top 20 most prolific malware found on the internet today? Highlight the infection types and rates in different type of networks like mobile and fixed.
Finally the presentation will provide some views on how different type of malware threats can be detected and mitigated and how networks can be protected proactively.

Multi-factor Authentication and How it can Save You!
Jun 16 2020
61 mins
Elisabeth Happel, Director of Cyber Security, TRG Networking, Inc. & David McHale, Principal, HailBytes
Everywhere you turn, someone is talking about MFA. When you strip away the jargon, the platform marketing and ads, what does MFA really offer to the end-user or to a business? As more and more services move into the Cloud, you'll want to understand multi-factor authentication as a possible solution for your business or personal needs.
A little history:
Authentication is one means of identity management – it is how a computer system knows which user has access to what resources. In the not too distant past, this was usually controlled via active directory on a server that sat in a closet where you worked. And that worked well, because all the applications, printers, and employees were in that physical place called the office.
But, things change! Servers and applications are more likely to reside in the Cloud than in your office. Employees could be working from home, out in the field, or half-way around the globe. Each of the resources that a person needs to access must have a way of authenticating them, but traditional authentication is no longer sufficiently secure on its own!
Enter Multi-factor Authentication – which adds an additional and out-of-band way of authentication identity management. In this webinar we will discuss:
What is MFA?
Why as a Service Cloud services can be vulnerable to authentication breaches
What is out-of-band, and why is that important?
How utilizing MFA can be an important part of your strategy to shore your network or system defenses
How risk factor is reduced using MFA
The different genres of MFA, and how they can be implemented
We will wrap up our discussion with a brief Q & A session at the end, so warm up your questions!

One of Roy Ayers' greatest albums of the 70s – a set that tightens up the groove from previous Polydor productions, yet still keeps all the soul intact! The record picks up the style begun with the Mystic Voyage album, and pushes it to some slightly tighter territory – a more focused Roy Ayers sound that's totally great, and which makes the album sparkle wonderfully throughout! All aspects of Roy's talents are perfectly balanced here – his warm vocals and jazzy vibes, his uptempo grooves and mellower rhythms – played to perfection by a hip lineup of players that includes Philip Woo on electric piano, Justo Almario on tenor sax, and Steve Cobb on drums. Edwin Birdsong guests a bit on the record – bringing in a nice edge to a few tunes – the album's got a really unique dark undercurrent, even in smoother moments – that subtle Roy Ayers' approach that's always made him one of our all-time favorite artists. Titles include the wonderful jazz-tinged "Searching", a great midtempo stepper that we really love; the funky break track "The Memory", a righteous number that feels like work from earlier records; the clubby classic "One Sweet Love to Remember"; and the sweet instrumental "Vibrations", which has a mellow kickback feel! Other tunes include "Higher", "Domelo (Give It To Me)", "Baby I Need Your Love", and "Better Days". © 1996-2020, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Cover has a cut corner. Vinyl plays with a short clickon side 1, track 6.)
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

The telescope is being developed by scientists across 17 countries, and the recommendation was made by a group of seven scientists representing five nations.
The telescope, once built, will consist of thousands of antennae spread over an area of 3,000 square kilometres. Half of the dishes will be installed in a so-called core site, an area of 5km by 5km. The remainder will be more widely distributed.
It will be the largest telescope ever built and will be used to probe some of the most important questions in astronomy and cosmology. It will be used to investigate so-called dark energy, the origin of magnetism, and could be deployed in the search for extra terrestrial life, according to South Africa's minister for science and technology Mosibudi Mangena.
The Australian bid proposes the core site be located at Mileura Station, 100km west of Meekatharra in Western Australia (nearish to Perth). The antenna might be spread so widely that some end up in New Zealand, the CSIRO office says.
South Africa's proposal would see the core site being placed in the Karoo in the Northern Cape.
The other two bids were from China and Argentina. The SKA steering committee said the proposals were excellent, but each failed at least one of the exacting requirements.
Whichever site is chosen, it must have very low levels of man-made radio signals to avoid interfering with the cosmic radio waves the 'scope is designed to detect.
The Australian team thinks it has the edge on South Africa in this regard: "The West Australian site is better in this respect than any site in the world currently used for radio astronomy," said Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation's Dr Michelle Storey, leader of the Australian SKA Planning Office.
Other important conditions include a good view of the Southern Hemisphere's sky, where the centre of the Milky Way goes overhead, and stable ionospheric conditions, particularly important for low frequency observations.
As you would expect with such a large bunch of boffins, argumentative by nature, there is disagreement even on when the final decision will be made. The South Africans expect it in 2008, but the Australians have their money on 2010. ®

外部链接是链接到维客旅行之外的其他网站。维客旅行一般的政策是外部链接应该不多,也应该只链接到主要来源。 每篇文章不应有外部链接部分。
Using only primary sources makes our guide more succinct: where there is usually one or sometimes two primary source links for any subject, there can be hundreds or thousands of secondary source links. We also avoid subjectivity and conflict. It's difficult to decide collaboratively which of the thousands of English-language newspapers, magazines, and Web sites has done the very best travel article about New York City, but it's quite easy for everyone to agree that http://www.nycvisit.com/ is the official city visitor's guide. If the destination has both an official visitor's guide and a general government site, include only the visitor guide.
Avoid linking to secondary sources - for example, avoid links to:
We should avoid links to other travel guides, to ensure we have travel information in Wikitravel, not linked from Wikitravel. This is an incentive issue; if we have lots of links to other travel guides, we lose the impetus to create our own. In addition, one of our goals is to produce a guide useful for printing or offline use, and therefore we need information to be within the article rather than linked to at another site. See also the "Avoid references to third-party ratings and rankings unless they are truly exceptional" rule in Wikitravel:Don't tout.
We also do not provide links to source information or provide references—travel guides do not use footnotes!
There are three possible formats for "external" links. For the sake of consistency, we only use the first:
Note that "http://" is included in the link. The software won't recognize a link if the "http://" is missing from a link.
Don't use these:
There are three possible uses for external links:
What the reader expects to be at the end of a link, should be at the end of the link. A link to a service provider web page, where permitted by policy, should always be preceded by a mention of the service providers name in the text.
Remember that for print versions of Wikitravel, links will be presented in all their URLish ugliness. Readers of the print versions will have to type in by hand the URL that you add. For this reason, try to use the shortest URL possible for links, even if it means a little more work on the part of the reader when they click through a link. Where possible, try to trim out "housekeeping" stuff from the URL. You can almost always leave off "index.html", "index.htm", "index.asp" or "index.php" from a link, for example.
If http://www.example.com/ redirects automatically to a home page like http://www.example.com/home/index.asp?id=384&lang=en, use the shorter version, even though it's "really" going to the long version. Similarly, if http://www.example.net/ has a "splash screen" which eventually takes you to http://www.example.net/index2.htm or something, leave the top-level link in, even though the "real information" is located elsewhere.
Tip: For many hotel chains, location.chain.com works as quick and easy redirect. For example, Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur can be found at http://kualalumpur.lemeridien.com/ as well as http://www.starwoodhotels.com/lemeridien/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=1840&EM=VTY_MD_kualalumpur_1840_overview, and the short version will not break when the chain changes its reservation system (which seems to happen every few months).
Of course, if the page you're linking to isn't at the "root" of the site, it makes sense to leave the path part of the URL in. Don't change http://examples.org/scottish-country-dance/ to http://examples.org/, since that top-level page probably doesn't have the same dance information.
Don't use links to redirection services, such as tinyurl, just to make the links shorter.
This version of Wikitravel is for English-language speakers (but see language versions of Wikitravel), so links should go to English versions of sites when possible. However, official primary links should always be added, even if they're not in English: some travellers can read the local language or decipher it with online translation, other travellers will still find pictures, maps, schedules, prices handy, and they may be updated to include English in the future.
Many sites have the information in several languages, e.g., the local language and English. They handle this in different ways:
A link is not a substitute for actual information. Our goals include creating pages useful as printed guides. So, we need to include information that's at the other end of a link, even if it may seem redundant for on-line use.
For example, in a restaurant listing, get the address, phone number, hours, and prices for the restaurant, even if it's right there on an external Web page. Someone using a printed guide won't have access to whatever's on that page.
When Wikitravel articles are printed the Wikitravel stylesheets are set up so that the full URL of a link will appear in text enclosed in parentheses immediately after the link text. For example, an attraction listing would print as:
We have a special format that features links to the Open Directory Project in a special part of the page - see Links to Open Directory.
We have a special format that features links to Wikipedia in a special part of the page - see Links to Wikipedia.
世界66 (World66)[编辑]
As Wikitravel is merging with World66, we have a special relationship with it that justifies an exception to the rule against linking to other guides. We have a special format that features links to World66 in a special part of the page - see Links to World66.
Providing a link to a weather forecast for the destination is okay. Such links are often placed in the text field of Template:Climate. You can use Template:ForecastNOAA to link to the NOAA forecast if the destination is in the United States.

During her elementary school years, Utah State University professor Carol von Dohlen confided to her peers she wanted to be a naturalist when she grew up.
"My friends snickered behind my back and I couldn't understand why," says von Dohlen, who joined USU's Department of Biology faculty in 1996. "Then I learned they thought a 'naturalist' was someone who lived in a nudist colony."
The precocious youngster quickly redacted her previously declared future profession and chose the safer term "ethologist" to describe her intended career path.
"That seemed to calm the uproar," says von Dohlen, who shared her professional journey through her talk "A Perpetual Student" presented to family and friends Nov. 27 at the USU President's Home. Her presentation was the third talk in the university's 2012-13 Inaugural Professor Lecture Series. Coordinated by the Provost's Office, the series highlights the accomplishments of faculty who have been promoted to full professor in the past year.
Born and raised in Hartford, Conn., von Dohlen says she was "obsessed" with animals and nature and spent most of her free time outdoors.
"I read every book about animals I could find and especially enjoyed Jane Goodall's 'In the Shadow of Man," she says. "I was fascinated with the study of animal behavior."
By the time von Dohlen finished high school and prepared to enter Dartmouth College, another passion competed for her attention: music.
"During college, I played violin in both the Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra and the Vermont Symphony Orchestra," she says. "I wasn't sure if I wanted to major in music or biology."
Ultimately, the young coed concluded she'd rather spend more time outdoors than cooped up in a practice room. Her decision to major in biology propelled her into undergraduate research opportunities in New Hampshire forests.
"I studied songbirds and caterpillars and discovered how much I liked research," von Dohlen says.
After graduation and six months of hitchhiking around New Zealand, she found a temporary position with the Washington, D.C.-based Conservation Foundation (which subsequently merged with the World Wildlife Fund.)
"My time was spent investigating federal expenditures on ecological research," she says. "From the experience, I concluded I didn't want to work for the federal government."
Her stint didn't last long but, around the corner from her office, von Dohlen stumbled upon a small organization run by renowned radiobiologist Alexander Hollaender, a founding director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. von Dohlen was offered a position with the organization, which organized symposia in cutting-edge genetics research.
"It was a very enriching experience and inspired me to pursue graduate studies in biology at the University of Maryland," she says. "There, I met evolutionary ecologist Doug Gill, who would be a formative mentor."
At UMD, von Dohlen cultivated her research interests in aphids and other insects; an area she continues to pursue. Her current projects include study of molecular systematics to reconstruct the history of lineages in insects, as well as investigation of bacterial symbiosis in plant sap-feeding insects.
"I have the best job in the world," says von Dohlen, who serves as co-director of graduate studies in the biology department. "I can't wait to see new data."
Beyond the lab, she enjoys teaching.
"I work with amazing undergrads and graduate students and terrific faculty colleagues," says von Dohlen, who is married to USU vice provost Larry Smith. "I've been extremely happy at USU, where I've been able to have a life as well as a career."

http://mmajunkie.com The decision not to test Shane Carwin for prohibited substances at UFC 131 came from a group affiliated with the local commission that conducted the tests, a representative for the former UFC interim heavyweight champ said today.
Carwin manager Jason Genet confirmed to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that following the fight, Carwin offered to submit a urine sample for testing – but immediate medical concerns prompted officials to forgo the test.
Carwin, who suffered a decision loss to Junior Dos Santos in the June 11 pay-per-view event's headliner, was among six athletes selected for drug testing following UFC 131, according to test results released Tuesday by the Vancouver Athletic Commission.
However, the results clarified that the commission "unilaterally exercised its discretion to rescind its selection" of the heavyweight. (The remaining five athletes tested clean.)
"In making such a determination, in its absolute discretion, the VAC seeks to balance the guiding values of 'fairness' and 'fighter safety,'" the release stated.
The statement led to speculation as to why Carwin, a fighter who this past August was linked to a case involving an Alabama man convicted of selling steroids to doctors and clinics around the country, was not tested. (Carwin, who has never tested positive for performance-enhancers in his pro career, has declined to comment on the link.)
According to Genet, Carwin was escorted backstage following his loss to an area where drug testing was being conducted. The decision not to test him was made there by a group identified by the VAC as the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES), which was contracted to conduct drug tests at the event.
"As you're waiting for testing, there's also medical personnel there for any injured fighters because fighter safety is always paramount, especially at UFC events," Genet said. "So, the paramedics were attending to Shane at the same time [the CCES] was getting ready."
"There was just a little bit of downtime. And at the same time, Shane's injuries – the lacerations and the head-swelling – were increasing. So the doctor told the testing committee, 'You either need to test him now or send a tester with us to the hospital because he needs to go. He needs to see an emergency physician right away.'
"So Shane said, basically, 'Just give me what you've got, and I'll give you what I've got right now. Let's just do it right here, right now.' [The CCES] huddled among themselves to decide whether they would send somebody with Shane to the hospital, and opted not to. "They were like, 'No, you need to stay lying down and get to the hospital.'"
After Carwin was taken by ambulance to the hospital, his blood may immediately have been drawn, Genet said, but painkillers were administered shortly afterward to help the fighter cope with the significant injuries he incurred during the fight.
"But one thing to note is this is the first UFC fight that he's never been tested at," Genet said. "Prior to this, whether he was on the preliminary card or the main event, he's always been tested and 100 percent clean."
Genet said he didn't learn about the chain of events following UFC 131 until he read about the VAC's release online, but afterward clarified the situation with Carwin.
The onetime UFC interim heavyweight champion currently is recovering from his injuries in his hometown of Denver. He suffered a broken nose in the fight and initially suspected a broken orbital bone.
With performance-enhancers a hot topic in the MMA community right now, Genet believes the VAC's omission was blown out of proportion.
"I think it's a no-issue if the Nate Marquardt (situation) didn't pop up," Genet said about the former UFC fighter's recent admission about using prescribed testosterone. "People probably wouldn't blink about it too much. But the way they singled him out and said five (tested) but six were requested – well, they requested him, he accepted it, and they didn't do it.
"That's not on him. That's their responsibility."

Zero Proof: Pineapple Mint Agua Fresca Recipe
Agua Fresca is a hot weather Latin American tradition, usually sold from giant glass vitroleros perched atop restaurant and market countertops. The selection varies with the season, and it's not uncommon to find cucumber and chili agua fresca alongside watermelon, hibiscus, or guava. Here we've used pineapple and jazzed it up with a few sprigs of mint for a light and refreshing beverage that's reminiscent of a Pina Colada, but much lighter.
Outward appearance doesn't matter once it's blended and strained, so feel free to use slightly overripe or bruised fruit. Choice of sweetener can be a controversial topic, with some purveyors saying plain old sugar is just fine, and others swearing by agave nectar or simple syrup since it dissolves so much faster. Macerating the pineapple in sugar for about an hour ahead of time does away with this issue, since the sugar helps bring out the fruit's juice and then dissolves the sugar.
Keep in mind that agua fresca isn't meant to taste like candy and the amount of sugar added depends on the sweetness of your pineapple. The sugar is just to highlight the pineapple's natural sweetness, and the lime juice adds a hint of sour for balance. After that it's a quick trip through the blender and into an ice-filled glass.
- Yield:makes 4 servings
- Active time: 10 minutes
- Total time:1 hour, 10 minutes
- 1 small pineapple, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups water
- 1/8 cup mint leaves, tightly packed
- juice of 1 lime
Combine sugar and pineapple in a bowl, cover and refrigerate for one hour.
After an hour, add the pineapple mixture, water, mint, and lime to a blender. Blend until smooth.
Pour liquid through strainer into a pitcher, pressing on the solids. Serve over ice.

Kennedy not overly concerned with allowing homers
ATLANTA -- No pitcher likes giving up home runs, and the Padres' Ian Kennedy is certainly no different.
But Kennedy, who is second in the National League in home runs allowed, isn't about to lose sleep over how many he allows in games where he feels he pitched well.
"Maybe if I'm missing my spots, it would bother me," said Kennedy, who is a fly-ball pitcher. "But it's something that's going to happen."
Such was case Friday when Kennedy allowed a solo home run to the Braves' Justin Upton in the fourth inning and later a two-run home run to Brian McCann in the inning. Those were home runs Nos. 24 and 25. He's allowed seven home runs in eight starts since being traded to the Padres on July 31.
Kennedy, who got a no-decision, thought he pitched well otherwise. He allowed three runs on five hits over six innings with two walks and five strikeouts.
"I felt pretty good about the way that I threw the ball," he said. "That's a tough lineup. That's a home-run hitting team. I felt the command of my fastball down was good. I threw a lot of fastballs, which helped my changeup."
Kennedy is 3-1 with a 3.86 ERA since joining the Padres. He's only pitched a combined 11 innings over his last two starts, though that's not his fault. He's been lifted for a pinch-hitter in each of the last two games after not topping 90 pitches each time.

Apostle and Evangelist Luke - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 5
Let us praise with sacred songs the holy Apostle Luke, / the recorder of the joyous Gospel of Christ / and the scribe of the Acts of the Apostles, / for his writings are a testimony of the Church of Christ: / He is the physician of human weaknesses and infirmities. / He heals the wounds of our souls, / and constantly intercedes for our salvation!
Kontakion — Tone 2
Let us praise the godly Luke: / he is the true preacher of piety, / the orator of ineffable mysteries / and the star of the Church; / for the Word, Who alone knows the hearts of men, / chose him, together with wise Paul, to be a teacher of the gentiles!

Ever had more work than you had time? Ever felt that with the ever decreasing budgets, and no ability to hire new help that the demands of your organization exceed its capabilities? How to solve the common challenges that organizations face is of course to logically focus on the things that aren't working in your organization, and try to figure out how to fix them. The conventional problem solving tools of deductive reasoning have continued to produce similar outcomes from one business to the next. What we focus on however, we often create more of–meaning that if we are only able to see what's broken in our workplace, we may never find what's working. This is where a technique in organizational development called Appreciate Inquiry may come to your aide.
Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a model of organizational development that asks leaders to shift to a positive perspective by examining the things that an organization does well and thereby leveraging its innate strengths to outweigh its limitations whether they be budgetary or otherwise. The AI approach was born out of the research of Case Western Reserve University whereupon leaders recognize the value the contributions of things and people around them (appreciation), and then explore, discover, and understand more about these possibilities (inquiry). This is done in what is called the 5D approach which is as follows:
1. Define: You have to be able to define the scope of an appreciative inquiry's focus. So rather than making it "how do we continue to produce the same level of productivity with fewer staff," it would be "how do we accelerate the productivity of our existing staff?" The phrasing of a focus is critical to what answers come in the subsequent steps of an appreciative inquiry. Remember "seek and you shall find."
2. Discover: Identify the organizational processes that work well. This can be done by making daily rounds face to face with team members and organizational units to both establish rapport but namely to probe deeply into what makes their jobs easier or to find what solutions they've developed to address some of their common challenges, thus to become an investigator within your own organization! Through the process of discovery you are able to not only have greater understanding with your employees, but also to identify potential issues before they become a problem. Through AI you empower your team members to have greater access to you as a leader, and they empower you to discover what works.
3. Dream: Envisioning the future is what can become what science often calls a "strange attractor." This is about the ability to clearly identify where you're going and share that vision with others routinely either through your repeat discovery procedures, or through organizational communications such as newsletters and emails. The dream step allows you to communicate a shared vision that others can be inspired to contribute toward, and invite them to dialogue.
4. Design: This is the inventory process by which you take note of all the planning and priorities that would work well in the future. Again, the key here is to continue to be solutions-focused and thus future-focused, and to allow the dream and visioning process to quickly roll over into asking yourself and others, "What might that look like?"
For example, let's say that Robert is a line worker in a factory and he has told you when you were rounding during the discovery procedure that he really likes it when the Tuesday shipment of supplies he needs to do his job comes before lunch. When the shipment comes on Tuesday mornings, he tells you that it allows him to notify his peers to pick them up in the afternoon. There's been a problem with other areas being at a standstill unable to do their jobs often on Wednesday mornings because they have no supplies. If you were to design a process by which the inventory was distributed more routinely on Tuesday mornings, how could you design a process that would ensure those successes could be repeated each and every time? This is process engineering 101, but with a positive twist! It's not about fixing the unproductive Wednesday mornings; it's about focusing on Robert's successes and amplifying them.
5. Deliver: This is where the rubber meets the road and all that hard work of having crucial conversations with others through discovery, inspiring them to think more about what works best might look like through dreaming, and then designing it out into form. This may require the formation of strategic task forces, or subunits that are responsible for implementation. But again, this step is about the execution of the proposed design through shared governance and inclusion.
The principles of Appreciative Inquiry are based on that the idea that when you build upon your strengths rather than focusing upon your weaknesses, you create empowered solutions that become like a happy virus infecting all those around you. Then suddenly, when people come knocking on your door with a problem, they know to come with some ideas and solutions in hand that can be easily implemented to leverage their own strengths toward greater success.
The key to implementation of appreciate inquiry is through communicating the AI philosophy to all members of the team. Many organizations have what is called an "Appreciative Inquiry Summit" where key stakeholders and leaders of an organization are brought together to dig deep into what's really right about their organization, and to ask themselves how they might be able to envision that growing larger and being more emphasized.
The old and outdated approach of identifying problems, analyzing causes, possible solutions, and then activating treatments based on those possible solutions is only a three dimensional approach. The Five-D's: Define, Discover, Dream, Design and Deliver, are five dimensions of managerial problem solving that ensure that leaders are able to transform organizational challenges into amplifications of possibility.

Last April a firestorm erupted when it was disclosed that Governor LePage had met privately at the Blaine House with hearing officers who decide whether unemployed Mainers are entitled to receive weekly benefits. According to news accounts, the Governor told the hearing officers that they were deciding too many cases in favor of employees. Afterwards, some of the hearing officers anonymously indicated that they felt that they had been bullied by the Governor.
Following the reports of the meeting, in what apparently was an unprecedented action, a lawyer and auditors from the federal Department of Labor (which pays the salaries of the hearing officers) descended upon Maine in May to investigate the controversy. To date, the Labor Department has not taken any further action, at least publicly.
Now the smoldering controversy appears ready to reignite. On Thursday, September 12, a blue ribbon panel appointed by the Governor, including former Maine Supreme Court Chief Justice Dan Wathen, and two representatives each from the employee and employer community, are slated to hear testimony from noon to 7 PM at the Cross Office Building. Although the Governor claims that he received "hundreds and hundreds" of complaints about the unemployment hearing process, in fact a freedom of information act (FOIA) request disclosed only 30 such complaints. Which raises the question, is there a problem here, or is this a solution in search of a problem?
No doubt this Thursday the Blue Ribbon panel will hear from many business owners complaining about the process. There probably won't be many employees testifying (although I encourage them to do so). Employees tend (hopefully) to be one-time consumers of benefits, while employers who layoff or terminate employees are far more likely to be repeat customers. And of course, employees who are working aren't likely to have the time to travel to Augusta.
Perhaps there are real procedural problems with the unemployment benefits process; if so, those problems need to be heard and if appropriate, fixed. But the Governor's fixation on the fact that too many employees are prevailing on unemployment claims is NOT one of those problems. The unemployment system was created in 1935 together with Social Security as part of the social safety net to protect workers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own. Accordingly, the Act is designed to be remedial in nature and FAVOR the prompt granting of benefits to workers so they can avoid the devastating consequences of unemployment. During the most recent recession, there was a huge increase in claims here and nationally; the prompt grant of benefits protected workers against hunger and homelessness like that which occurred in the Great Depression when no such program existed. For that reason, employees are supposed to and do in fact win most claims initially.
But when employers challenge the grant of unemployment benefits, the story becomes much different. When review is requested by a hearing officer, last year employers won 35% of the time; employees won 29% of the time. For the last 10+ years, employers and employees have won at about equal rates. During that same period of time, employers who appealed to the three-member Unemployment Board have won far more often than not.
While the numbers would suggest that, in fact, the process is not so tilted in favor of employees as the Governor believes, the real question isn't who is winning and who is losing; the question is whether the process is fair and whether the law as written is being applied properly. And here, the Governor's thinly-veiled attempt to put his thumb on the scales of justice is what is really wrong.
There's a reason the symbol for the American justice system is of Lady Justice blindfolded. Because when justice ain't blind, there can be no justice at all.
