Do you know THE Goal of your organization? Why does it exist? What’s its purpose?
Even if you work for a “security company,” its main goal is not security (or at least it shouldn’t be). I know that this sounds like sacrilege, but its not. The main goal of most private sector companies is to make money. In most companies, providing security doesn’t make money. It’s an operational expense or an investment.
I’m currently reading The Goal, A Process of Ongoing Improvement by Eliyahu M. Goldratt. It has reminded me of the importance of knowing the goals of your company. All activities of the company should be moving it toward its goals of being profitable. “If the company doesn’t make money by producing and selling products (or services), or by maintenance contracts, or by selling some of its assets, or by some other means … the company is finished… an action that moves us (the company) toward making money is productive. And an action that takes away from making money is non-productive.”
