Compliance ILLs #7: Operation: Scapegoat





Last week on #ComplianceILLs, the crisis hit. This week, we get to see InnaLeap Logistics' version of 'crisis management'... and it's exactly what you'd expect. 😬
A data leak has been confirmed, and Brenda has gathered the team for a "post-mortem." But her first question isn't "What happened?" or "How do we fix our process?" — it's "Who can we blame?"
➡️ Swipe through our Week 7 comic, "Operation: Scapegoat," to witness the finger-pointing, excuse-making, and all-around chaos that ensues!
This is the classic "blame game," and it's one of the least effective ways to handle a business problem. A productive post-mortem focuses on the 'what' and 'why' of a failure, not just the 'who.' When companies build a culture of blame, people become afraid to report issues or admit mistakes, which means problems hide under the surface until they become disasters.
At Aetos Data Consulting, we help businesses build a culture of accountability and psychological safety. We facilitate blameless post-mortems focused on improving systems, not punishing people. That's the only way a company can truly learn from a mistake and prevent it from happening again.
What do you think is the key to a productive discussion after a project or incident goes wrong? How do you keep it from devolving into finger-pointing?
