Why they ignored the warning signs: a culture of denial

Does a ‘culture of denial’ prevent some organisations from seeing and responding to warning signs before disaster?

This culture of denial probably exists in other organisations, too. It involves a series of beliefs that dismissed warning signs of danger.
