They may be legally required to carry out detailed, costly and lengthy investigations, or to notify regulators, law enforcement agencies, business partners and people affected; or to implement major changes to their business systems and operations; or may be dragged into litigation.
Organisations that get things right do not face these impediments and pulls on performance and growth.
