At the same time, Speigel argues that incidents may be valuable. “Clearly, facing a violation is a candy badge of honor, and you learn a lot. If you are hiring a siso with a completely clean record, as far as you know, are they more experienced than those who are sitting on a chair? Finally if you have not answered a real event, if you are not less valuable, you are not less valuables, but how much you have no less valuables.”
Despite the perception of the wandering door, Speigel believes that the profession is still maturing. “Working at this place, people are very helpful, and competitive factors are relatively limited. People really want everyone to be successful. We want to create some stability and standardization around the space, so industries, companies and customers we know what they are doing, can feel and feel confident to feel that it is a consistent and stable practice.”
So, are Siso tenure decreasing? The answer is both yes and no. Across the board, the CSIOS faces tireless responsibility, exposure to the risk, and it is prudent that no amount of preparation can completely adapt against the defect. For some, this is a sufficient reason for walking away. For others, it is fuel to take on the next challenge.
