Organization today operates with clear goals while also navigating serious threats. Two major goals include growth and competitiveness and customer satisfaction. Growth often involves expanding market share, adopting innovative techs, and improving efficiency to stay ahead in rapidly changing industries. Customer satisfaction remains central, with businesses striving to deliver high quality products and services, build trust, and retain loyal clients. Another common goal is achieving sustainability and compliance, ensuring that operations align with environmental standards and regulatory requirements, which can also strengthen reputation. On the other hand, organizations face major threats that can disrupt progress. One significant threat is cybersecurity risks. With increasing digital dependence, companies are vulnerable to data breaches, ransomware and identity theft, which can cause financial losses and harm credibility. Another key threat economic instability, including inflation, supply chain disruptions, and market volatility. These can reduce profits, and weaken organizational resilience, forcing companies to adapt quickly to survive.

Hi, Carlos! I agree that growth and customer satisfaction are both important for an organization. Companies do need to focus on maintaining good services to customers in the present time, but they also need to be prepared for growth in efficiency and technology for the future. Cybersecurity risks and economic instability can threaten these two goals. If information is leaked, customers will feel violated and it may be hard to recover. Additionally, economic instability can make it harder for businesses to grow, and the uncertainty of product or price can create a problem for customers.

Two major goals of organizations are security and consistency. Security is a huge part of any organization because it is important to protect the information and resources that are being stored from the threat of hackers or accidents. Security measures such as anti-malware, software policy controls, and company policies that educate users must be put in place to protect against attacks from hackers (like viruses or phishing) and from accidents (such as employees accidentally deleting or sharing sensitive information).
An organization’s goal of consistency means that the company wants to continue to keep a good stock of their resources, and they want their resources to work consistently when used or accessed. For example, to protect against the threat of using incorrect equipment or parts, everything that is purchased (such as a new network device component) must be bought from a trusted manufacturer. Additionally, everything must be configured correctly to ensure it is being used properly.

Afternoon Isabelle,
Security and consistency are vital for organizations in this day of age. Security ensures protection from hackers, viruses and accidents through tools, policies, and of course education. Consistency means resources are reliable and properly configured, ensuring smooth operation. Trusted sources for equipment and correct setups reduce risks, keeping both data and operations safe for long term stability and success.
