Organizations Don't Retain What They Learn
First, thanks for reading and commenting. I agree completely with your thoughts re getting organizations on the couch. I think of it as a form of inertia -- once a business is moving in a certain direction there's too much personality, ego, internal politics, ..., to get them to change course even when they've realized their course will cause them harm . It's quite sad.
Again, it's a matter of best practices. Especially in the US. Even think that you've made a mistake and the lawyers start drooling...
