Being an ethical company is fast becoming a business advantage but soon it will be an imperative. I.e. you will not be rewarded for being a responsible organization, but you will be punished if you are not. However, many organizations lack a deep understanding of how to act ethically in a business context, they do not have a language to discuss it and they do not have the tools to develop ethical principles and operationalize them to ensure their businesses becomes part of the solution rather than part of the problem.
In this anthology, a select group of global thought leaders within fields such as AI, neuroscience, leadership, culture, strategy, and innovation provides inspiration, insights, and concrete tools to help you solve near future ethical dilemmas to the benefit of your organization and to the benefit of the world.
