Guest Quotes
“Some companies want to quickly resolve a case, or they want to quickly close something, but you need to use that as an opportunity. You need to engage with the stakeholders and you need to try to understand, “Okay, what is actually the root cause of this event, so I can prevent this?” - Bruno Zapata
“I think we're in a continual state of learning, and humans and the workplace are constantly evolving. As we change and evolve, the risks are changing and evolving too.” - Alizabeth Aramowicz Smith
“So, the local perspective serves to underline the fact that the corporate culture does not automatically apply in a standard way in all locations. And that integration needs to be achieved by means of employees on the ground or local consultants who can analyze the specific needs on site and then remedy these problems in an appropriate way.” - Sofiane Kessouar
