Philosopher Soren Kierkegaard wrote that ‘Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards’. But is that really true? As business people, are we condemned only to become aware of corporate malfeasance when it is already upon us? In his presentation, Tim uses the lessons of the past to shine a light on the tell-tale problems of the present, and in doing so illuminates a path to more effective strategies for investigation, monitoring and pre-emptive action. |
