Hmm, I want to access my organization's resources over Wi-Fi -- why treat it
as untrusted?  The security with WPA2 using AES is more than sufficient.

I would actually go the opposite direction.

Your Wifi is an untrusted network that can be sniffed and attacked by anyone
in 
the area. So don't let it connect directly to your internal network.

Consider it a guest network, just like a hotel network, and have all your
users 
connect to your company resources through a VPN, just like they would from
home 
or a hotel.

Then you can consider if you want to have the network locked down so that it
can 
only be used for VPN traffic, or if you really do want it to be a guest
network, 
able to reach the Intenet (for at least some things)
