Many of Philip K. Dick’s books and short stories seem like hallucinations, leading us to distant future scenarios or into surreal parallel worlds. On a second look, we discover that these social and technical developments are emerging, if they do not already exist. Dick’s philosophy is in harmony with W. Edwards Deming’s System of Profound Knowledge. Both ideas jointly together show important ways to prevent a dystopia and to use the new technologies to humanize the corporate world, including a focus on ethics, compliance, and sustainability.

Compliance tells you what you were required to do. It does not tell you whether the systems now deciding, speaking, and acting on your behalf can be trusted. For the leaders who answer for the claim that the organization is in control, that gap is where the real risk lives. AI Governance Beyond Compliance is a practical guide for the people held accountable when something goes wrong.

When André de Ruyter took over as Eskom CEO in January 2020, he quickly realised why it was considered the toughest job in South Africa. Aside from neglected equipment, ageing power stations and an eroded skills base, he discovered that Eskom was crippled by corruption on a staggering scale. De Ruyter takes the listener inside the boardrooms and government meetings where South Africa’s future is shaped, with ministers often pulling in conflicting directions, and candidly reflects on his three years at the power utility.

At first glance, the compliance message is quite simple: bribery and corruption are forbidden. Internal policies are based on external laws. However, simply explaining these requirements is often not enough, since “good employees” can also do bad deeds despite better knowledge. That is why the compliance function is not primarily based on documents, but focuses on people.

In addition to his work as an entrepreneur, corporate executive, and consultant, for the last 16 years August Turak worked alongside the Trappist monks of Mepkin Abbey, watching firsthand as they undertook new enterprises and sustained an incredibly successful business practice. Service and selflessness are at the heart of this 1,500-year-old monastic tradition’s remarkable business success, an ancient though immensely relevant economic model that preserves what is positive and productive about capitalism while transcending its ethical limitations and internal contradictions.

Consciousness, teaches Fred Kofman, is the capacity to observe, choose, and act in accord with your values. And conscious business means using that ability at every level of your work: in being aware of the needs of others and expressing your own in seeing the hidden emotional obstacles that may...

This second revised and updated edition of the 1944 classic, narrated by the author James G. Skakoon, serves as a crucial compilation of “house rules”, or a professional code. It addresses three areas: what the beginner needs to learn at once; “laws” relating chiefly to engineering executives; and purely personal considerations for engineers. This new volume is a must for those entering the engineering field or those interested in improving their professional effectiveness.

Contemporary views of business ethics often show businessmen and women in a bad light. Egoism, profits, and competition are branded as immoral, while social consciousness is praised. Atlas Society Senior Scholar Stephen Hicks, PhD, disagrees with this point of view. Most contemporary business ethics does business a disservice. Worse than that, its proposed cures are plagued with unintended consequences that are often much worse than the problems it is attempting to solve. Hicks defends the egoism that drives successful business people and the morality of free-market capitalism.

Eliminate sexual harassment, unconscious bias, ethical lapses and other HR nightmares! Companies spend millions on legal compliance training and initiatives to eliminate workplace drama and the resulting low morale and lawsuits, but don't always get the results they want. Most organizations understand that simply checking legal compliance boxes around sexual harassment, bias, etc. isn't enough, but are at a loss on how to implement solutions, especially in today's post-#MeToo world.  

No matter who you are or what you aim to achieve, power determines whether you succeed or fail. But while power dynamics permeate every interaction in the workplace, the concept is very poorly understood or managed in practice. Everyone has influence over some people and is under the influence of others, and must choose how to deal with these realities in daily interactions. This book offers a comprehensive and applied understanding of power in a professional scenario: where it comes from, how it moves, and what that means in practice for how professionals work together.
