Notes de l'éditeur
- Quite obviously justice, reconciliation, forgiveness and the truth are not the same thing in anyone’s language. Authors such as Derrida have written that forgiveness is a paradox. Something unforgivable is the only thing that calls to be forgiven and hence we are left with our dilemma. One can not forgive the unforgivable. Derrida asserts that too often forgiveness is equated with excuse, regret, amnesty or prescription. Public attempts to elicit contrition of the accused, testimony of the victim and ’justice’ amount to ‘‘performance’ events’.
- KM – drivers for lack of progress Staff turnover – incredibly high turn over of staff Remote locations – connectivity at the outlying offices Lag in infrastructure – no regular updates to the structure that drives the core business of the organisation Skill of staff – varying levels of staff knowledge of computing Cost & investment – reluctance to invest in what is seen as a secondary or non-core system Centralised decision making process for CITS – all major decisions and purchases are made at HQ in NY
