Security and delivery speed are traded against each other in virtual desktop systems whether or not anyone says so. Most outages involving the practice within technology and systems delivery are triggered by a change somebody considered routine. Buying a tool rarely fixes this area of technology and systems delivery; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Participants gain a realistic view of what virtual desktop systems costs and what it returns. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place the practice within technology and systems delivery among the areas with the widest performance spread. This programme builds this part of technology and systems delivery from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of virtual desktop systems and prepares them for it. It is designed for mixed groups, so that this area of technology and systems delivery is examined from more than one functional angle. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the technology and systems delivery capability survives a hostile question.
