Cost is obviously an issue - but I would argue that an organisation which
supplies a bad product/service at a low price should not be in that market
or should have radical changes made to its governance. Similar comment if
the working practices are so inefficient that they are always second to
market. If an organisation accepts an unreasonable delivery date knowing
that it can't do a job of the required quality within that time then it is
guilty of fraud in my book.
I agree wholeheartedly that investment in ISO 1799 or other controls can
reduce costs - and I shall continue to push that argument within any
organisation I work for. Good job I'm not looking to be elected Mr Popular
:-)
