Thank you for your review. Regarding decision making, quick decisions are made every day globally and on time. However, crucial decisions may need facts, figures and various other information even if the timescale is tight. By now, you must be aware of our efforts and focus on speed in everything we do. A global organization of our size will always strive to get things right the first time. We are doing an incredible amount of work to ensure that we get the balance right.
