As it pertains to systems management, always think with the end in mind. SO imagine if you can "paint" this picture to executive management.
One pane of glass (AKA a digital dashboard) which gives the executives a snapshot of how your vast infrastructure is behaving. (Any systems issues that might cause an impact to availability( due to unscheduled downtime, or intermittent access via network, WAN or otherwise). So it takes a collective of information between system engineers, networking, security etc etc to get that information in a way that upper management can digest it, and see the trends from time to time or at least "check in" on it at there leisure. Not saying this is a trivial matter, but its more benefical these days if you understand how to speak the language of the business. Especially when it related to risk. Z Edward E.

So....I need to come up with a way to better approach some situations and think more strategically and less tactically. When it comes to systems management (servers, endpoints, troubleshooting, etc.), what does that look like? Can someone shoot some examples out? Brain cramp. Sure I can Google this, but let's pretend I work for you and am asking for guidance :). Dave.
