La enumeración en tabla larga desalinea la segunda columna

Question

En la imagen a continuación, estoy tratando de descubrir cómo alinear horizontalmente (a) para estar en línea con Implicaciones. Efectivamente, haga que (a) comience donde está xxx. ¿Qué estoy haciendo mal?

\begin{longtable}{p{2.5cm}p{12cm}}
    Statement: & These principles of information management apply to all organizations within the enterprise. \\
    Rationale: & The only way we can provide a consistent and measurable level of quality information to decision-makers is if all organizations abide by the principles. \\
    Implications: & xxx
        \begin{enumerate}[label={(\alph*)}]
            \setlength\itemsep{0.5em}
            \item Without this principle, exclusions, favoritism, and inconsistency would rapidly undermine the management of information
            \item Information management initiatives will not begin until they are examined for compliance with the principles
            \item A conflict with a principle will be resolved by changing the framework of the initiative
        \end{enumerate}
    \end{longtable}

                    leftmargin=*, 
                    itemsep=0ex,
                    after=\end{minipage},    % <---
                    before=\begin{minipage}[t]{\linewidth}\raggedright
                    }
}
\usepackage{longtable}

\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{p{2.5cm}p{12cm}}
