Market share’s backward looking metric, customer satisfaction’s is forward looking metric

Intellectual solve problem, genius prevent them

Detecting & predicting crisis earlier is critical

Constant evaluation can detect good, bad, ugly, mistake, fraud

Technology is just a tool, mind is vital

Fix the product before it is broken

If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it are slave to status quo

Without secure, no prosper

Not handle properly vital issue become viral

Every flaw has it’s own symptom before appear

Recognizing potential & identifying flaw are fundamental keys for advance

Launching technology without proper logic & critical thinking

Big leap without proper arrangement will cause flaw

If don’t tackle bad in small or starting stage

When dealing complex issue, segmentation is vital

Confronting tiny trouble can refrain from gigantic calamities

Every occasion has enough time, before it’s too late

Ignoring tiny flaw, is way to disasters

Ignorance is costly...

Restoration activity after, ignorance is insurmountable

Who is responsible for foreseen cyber incident...? Pretty clear, CEO is 100% responsible for that sort of issue because he ignored early warning... CEO only focus on company profit, not for clients' security issue... If CEO focus on security issue, Microsoft can lose the big bid, if it's, MS share holders & MS board members will defeat MS CEO for losing Big bid...
