Many organizations can benefit from this framework mainly because of the subcategories that will evaluate things on more concentrated levels rather than grouping problems on a larger scale. The five functions, identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover remind me of other subcategories of acronyms like R.I.C.E and P.A.S.S that break down the steps to guide the user to a problem solution. One step cannot be examined without completing the one before because how can one protect if the threat or issue hasn’t been identified? Another thing about this framework is its flexibility to its users so it can be a foundation to create a specific framework for the particular organization. What I found intriguing because I never thought about it was the supply and demand for the technological and non-technological ecosystems (pg. 17). It revolves around the successful operations of the organization. An example of an application is the online shopping experience, where people skip the salesperson and pick out the items they want like they would in a catalog. The website needs to be running efficiently to make sales/profit; for this to happen, the organization must work with the technological supplier to communicate their needs and budget for the tailored technology to be produced. 

I would use this framework in my workplace to guide my actions and explore all possibilities w/o bias to fully complete the task. I tend to get distracted and start other things, so having a checklist or guide keeps me on track to make sure I haven’t done about 50% of the task but 100%, because one cannot say they are completed with the task until they have done 100% of the work.
