someone fill in the blanks here for me?
Well, I can try, but I suspect that there are a whole lot of them.

Constant change is here to stay. However, as Deming pointed out, it is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.
is the security sector involved in this?
No. We have a list of "best practices," and we know that, by definition, they will never change.
"Business Objectives" means ????
The "business objective" is getting more business. For example, if you are a consulting company, and your ideas are really no better than anyone else's, your objective is to send out vague press releases about things people already know about, but dress them up in alarming sounding language, so that people will pay attention to you. For example, you could take the well-known fact that technology changes, as it develops, and then turn that into a really scary sounding press release threatening that people might lose their jobs if they don't pay attention to the changes, and hope that some lame trade rag, on a slow day, might actually make the mistake of believing it to be news. Of course, almost everybody who reads it would understand immediately that it is a puff piece, but you might find find a few people of limited background who think there is something important in it. ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org If you put tomfoolery into a computer, nothing comes out of it but tomfoolery.
