As long as it takes but as quickly as possible would have to be my answer.

I was watching a TV show (recommended by an Internet Friend) and quite liked the name of their fictitious company “Contra Security”. I wonder if they wanted the link to Guerrilla Security and the even more specific Nicaraguan connection.

That said welcome to Contra Consulting as the dream of this team is to do exciting high value work as a kind of Tiger team for organisations that want help developing capabilities quickly that they can then be involved with developing further. Kind of like an IT Guerrilla force for hire.

I will go through the building of this company from the ground up trying to go through as many of the processes in order as possible, perhaps I might turn this into a real business unit BTW I have no problem if you do too.

I love to plan on my iPad using iThoughts because I can change my mind and organise my thoughts as I go …

This is what I am intending to start with

Notice I have an idea of the type of Client I want, which affects the compliance and design goals especially the desire to comply with the same security requirements we would if we were an internal IT department.

Do you think it a coincidence that the links between thoughts prove I really do love my job.

I hope to be able to give this project a fair amount of focus so expect some of the business principles to follow shortly.
