McKinsey captured the zeitgeist of the workplace perfectly in a paper entitled ‘If we’re all so busy, why isn’t anything getting done?’. Why indeed.

And remaining secure and compliant has become a significant concern for organisations worldwide – regulations such as GDPR are commonplace and failure can lose the business money and reputation.
