Paperwork: Threat Level Orange
A nice metaphor between security threat levels and paperwork in the fax machine.
What do we do in our businesses, that we treat as vitally important or something that has to be done right away but that we’re not really using any more, or whose usefulness has passed? I’ve asked employees to fax me some paperwork one time only to have them not realize that I didn’t want it forever. On the road for two weeks and I return to find my fax machine out of paper and the fax buffer full. Woops! I’d put them on Threat Level Orange on counts and not stepped them back down to yellow. Now, some automatically stepped themselves back down, assuming that I only wanted it the one time I’d asked for it.
