Cecile Kavalses, Chief of Staff, Group Legal & Compliance at Atos, said the legal department needed to have KPIs to be able to measure performance compared with other parts of the company. The question was how the KPIs were calculated and for which areas of work. The call came at an event to discuss the GC Excellence Report.
