Many of the recent corporate failures have been brought about not by failures in business processes or systems but by the actions of people. Yet people, or human capital as we are sometimes described, often do not figure sufficiently highly in an organisation’s strategic thinking and consideration.
Ask yourself and your board of directors the following questions:
Are we actually an ethical organisation?
How do we demonstrate this?
Do all of our people understand what constitutes both acceptable and unacceptable behaviours?
Do we have a well develop control environment or culture of control within our organisation?
Do we know how well we’re doing with developing our culture of control?
How can we get people to buy-in to their control responsibilities?
We can work with you to help answer some of these questions but perhaps more importantly we can:
Help you to develop some high level ethics and integrity training for your organisation
Run some workshops with you and your staff to assess the high level culture of control within your organisation
