How business can do the right thing in a turbulent world
In her book, Higher Ground, Professor Alison Taylor of NYU Stern School of Business argues that organisations can no longer treat ethics as a legal and reputational defence mechanism amid stakeholder demands and transparency pressure. Black and white ethical issues such as bribery and fraud, easily rectified with by policies and processes, are no longer the only the ethical challenges facing business in a volatile global landscape. How should leaders rethink and reshape their practices? How to cut through the noise to set robust environmental and social priorities?
Join Professor Taylor and soon to be IBE Chief Executive, Lauren Branston, as they discuss how responsible business can build trust and achieve long-term strategic advantage in a turbulent world.
