The money launderer intends to obscure the source of illegal funds by muddling the financial trails with numerous complex transactions. The investigator seeks to untangle them.

Business Strategy Advisory / By

Confirmation bias, overconfidence, evading responsibility, and absolute certainty in the face of insufficient evidence—factors that contribute to the failure of business strategies. The Strategy Institute defines a business strategy as “a master plan that outlines the direction the organisation intends to take, the actions it will undertake, and the resources it will allocate to attain certain competitive advantages and drive sustainable growth.” Despite the clarity and intention behind such strategic planning, real-world outcomes often fall short of expectations.
