Deep. Love it.
There is a Jewish law of lushin hora (no idea how to spell it.) You are forbidden to talk about anyone. Period. No gossip. Not even good things. Try that for a week. You will discover just how much of your conversation is about other people.
BTW, did you hear about Howard Schmidt?

From the business perspective:
Real World Culture 1.0: Yikes, that disclosure event cost us $10M, how do we make sure we protect our customer’s information?
Real World Culture 2.0: Yikes, *that* disclosure event cost us $25M, how do we make sure we protect our customer’s information that was supposed to be secured?

As I’ve commented here before, the position as described was going to be meaningless. If anyone can help make it more meaningful, it is Howard. But, I forecast a 90% chance of bureacratic headwinds, with occasional gusts of intelligence community end runs…

@John: Privacy is not secrecy but rather appropriate flow of information.

Hi, Saqib – yes, agree: privacy is about the *appropriate* flow of information. Essentially, privacy is enforcing “need to know.”
