You will want to read this book from start to finish as I've written each chapter to build off of each other. Each concept you learn in these chapters will relate to one another in some fashion. If you don't, you'll find yourself completely lost as a lot of what has gone into this have customized processes that have worked or is working in the organizations and teams I've helped develop.

So I want you to read this book with an open mind and ask yourself "what if this could work?" I only ask you to do this because I believe that we should all be on a path to improving our own processes (IT and business) within our organizations. The amount of breaches in 2017 alone is an indicator that some organizational processes don't work.

1. We cannot accept "this is how it has always been done" anymore
2. We need to reduce friction between each other
3. We need to increase the speed of decision making
4. We need to reduce the risk of exploitation

This book is another way to enable sound decision making at all levels by developing an intelligence capability between IT teams using the resources that we already have. It is  definitely a "bastardization" of military and civilian processes that have been put together to "make it work" for my teams. This book is not a solution, but a way to taking what we already know and trying to make an organization's collaboration and communication more efficient. By doing this, we are one more step closer in reducing the risk of exploitation to our organization.

Let's get started.
