Discussion of the Need to Practice Agility and Embrace a New Method

            While working at the data security firm, I have learned about the most effective method of safeguarding against data breach is the use of hybrid solution. Initially, our security firm had implemented asymmetric encryption to curb data breach. However, the former technique has not been effective since the firm lost significant information through either unauthorized access or theft. Therefore, I have learned that a hybrid data encryption and decryption method would improve the development of algorithm since it combines both the asymmetric and standard cryptographic. The newer data security approach reinforces the cipher weaknesses of each encryption technique. Consequently, I have the responsibility of sharing this newly learned data security system with my colleagues at the workplace.

            Although my colleague at work is unwilling to learn and apply this effective data security technique, I would advise her to embrace organizational agility in several ways. Firstly, the ability and readiness to learn from past data breach experiences need to benefit our IT security firm (Harraf, Wanasika, Tate, & Talbott, 2015). Secondly, I would persuade her that improving one’s self-awareness is an integral part of thinking with agility, thus attempting to challenge formerly learned knowledge of acting, and further unlearn from it. For example, I would challenge her to embrace this new hybrid data security by creating a stable autonomy and role clarity, which would compel her to maintain a collaborative learning culture (Harraf et al., 2015). I believe that if she used strategic agility, we would successfully change our team’s priorities. Therefore, we would help empower each other to solve this data breach security that we have recently witnessed if we get the necessary support from the management team.
