In this segment (download 8 minute iPod compatible, 41MB), Mark Ford, Principal, Deloitte, describes the "bottom-up" process of innovation that led to the creation of Deloitte's Identity and Access Management practice. Ten years ago, when Mark joined Deloitte as a senior consultant, there was no Identity and Access Management Practice. Rather, groups of consultants working in the Enterprise Risk Management practice saw the opportunity to extend the practice by going into implementation.
The fit was natural. Risk assessment is an important first step in determining access management policies so that you do not spend more than it is worth to control access to resources. In their spare time, Mark and his cohort began selling identity and access management work, involving others, and ultimately growing a separate practice area.
In this process, the Deloitte brand was critical. It provided a mark of quality and opened doors with already existing relationships.
