BGSSAFE Strategies

BGSSAFE Summary v2

SECURE

 

Information Security is foundational to any organizations long term success.

The information security landscape is complex and ever evolving.

At BGSSAFE we believe that understanding and managing risk is key to a healthy information security program. 

AVAILABLE

 

Technology Platform availability should be known, tracked, documented, and delivered on.

Availability directly impacts customer experience and revenue generation. 

At BGSSAFE we believe that technology should always be a revenue & service enabler and not a revenue & service distractor.

FUNCTIONAL

 

How well an application or system functions should be known, tracked and communicated. 

Functionality drives customer satisfaction and employee engagement.

At BGSSAFE we believe that the business defines what functionality means and determines if something is truly working or not.

ENTERPRISE SCALABLE

Enterprise Scalability is planning for growth and a quality experience for both customers and employees.

Enterprise scalability should be strategically focused on the channels that matter.

At BGSSAFE we believe that with good planning and design, any business can be prepared to scale at the speed of business. 


Brad Grant - Teller to CTO... 30+ years in the making

Brad Head Shot May 2024

People, Relationships, and Service leveraging Technology

I learned as a teller that people, relationships and good service mattered.  As CTO those three key items remained intact while making application in the context of technology leverage.

Serving others, including partners, and how you treat people is an Indvidual choice that can't be forced and sticks with you long after you have moved on. Skills and knowledge, which I have, are important, but understanding and wisdom is what fosters healthy relationships and long term sustained results through the influence of internal and external teams.

My journey encompasses military service and 4 different financial institutions varying in size from 33M to 9B. Core conversions, digital channel conversions, department creation, strategy development, real life disaster recovery (OKC Bombing), M&A and most importantly people development has marked my career thus far. 

I am an orchestrator of talent and technology to help solve real business problems and deliver value.  

If my ability to orchestrate talent and technology for the delivery of value during periods of growth piques your interest, then let's have a conversation to see how I can be of service to you.
