Spot the Trojan Horse in Your Organization or Team

What you will hear and see:

 

Most people know the Greek legend of the Trojan horse, but not many people know that at least one senior person in the hierarchy of Troy was suspicious of that horse. We know that he was ignored.

With hindsight, it should be clear that one of the following situations existed at the time of any Trojan horse incident in your organization: (a) no one spotted the threat; (b) someone did suspect something, but kept quiet; (c) someone did suspect and did speak out, but was not heard; or (d) someone did suspect and was heard, but ignored.

No organization or team can be effective if any of the above four points apply to it. Obviously, it is difficult to do anything if no one spotted the threat. But it is always within your power to listen to others. If you don’t, then be ready to welcome another Trojan horse.


 

   

What you will get from participating:

  • You will understand why Trojan horse incidents happen all the time in organizations.

  • You will learn to recognize many of the signs or symptoms that could lead to another Trojan horse incident in your organization or team.

  • You will learn what you can do to minimize the risk of it actually happening.

  • And you will learn what to do after a Trojan horse has struck.
