Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 906 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of Process Design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which IEC 61850 improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 906 standard requirements:


1. Does your organization perform Vulnerability Assessment activities as part of the acquisition cycle for products in each of the following areas: Cybersecurity, SCADA, Smart Grid, internet connectivity, and website hosting?

Results

With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any IEC 61850 project with this in-depth IEC 61850 Toolkit.

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:


• Diagnose IEC 61850 projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices

• Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals

• Integrate recent advances in IEC 61850 and put Process Design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines


Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make IEC 61850 investments work better.

This IEC 61850 All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
