Rick,

I liked your article. I think that organizations are just beginning to figure out the intermediate layer of the NCWF -- how the framework translates to their particular realities, from a practical perspective.

It will likely be the very large organizations that figure it out first, since it can be daunting to down-scale 31 specialty areas & 52 job roles for smaller organizations.

The successful smaller organizations' teams I've seen have existing teamwork structures focused on mapping the 7 functions of NCWF with Risk Management Framework, and something like the simplified model I presented.
