In Business we need to remember these simple things — a return to what we have forgotten —
Rule Number one about Business
“if you are government you do not have customers . or clients you have people that expect you to provide a service as part of your responsibilities to the people that you serve”
Rule Number Two About Business
“if you are an agent of a corporation you job is not a strategy, your job is a defined role governed by rules of conduct and attention to detail”
Rule Number Three about Business
“if you are military your job is to not blindly follow orders your job is to protect and defend people that can not defend themselves women and children and historical objects are not your reward or right”
Rule Number Four about Business
“if you are an executive, your job is to define whom parties are? what they will do? how long will it take?, what does it cost?, why its being done written down and signed.”
Rule Number Five about Business
“If Someone lies to You They are going to Steal from you and they may kill you if you find they lied.”
Rule Number Six about Business
“If you are a technical person you job is to record and convey facts every second of every hour of every day of every week of every month of every quarter of every year of every decade of every century” cage 1x2y8

Re: Rule number 1 – Defense has customers for what it produces, and there is a direct parallel to commercial business. However, the American People are not Defense customers, they are Defense stakeholders. They expect Defense to provide value to them as investors. The customers are those potential and actual adversaries that receive “Defense services.” For Humanitarian Assistance, Disaster Relief, that is materiel and non-materiel aid. For a conflict, that is the effective delivery of combat effects (ie bombs)on target. If we do not deliver the right effect to the right customer at the right time (miss the market), we don't deliver a return on investment to our stakeholders.
The primary deliverable for Defense customers is deterrence.

I took a couple of their courses. My assessment of their courses is like most things labeled “cyber.” NDU is trying to learn about the topic as they teach it. If you have some experience in “cyber” then you may feel underwhelmed too. If you have no cyber experience this may be a viable option for you. I would never intenationally talk someone out of expanding their understanding on a subject though, so enjoy and provide course feedback in order to help those who come behind you.
