Yesterday I was a presenter on a national Zoom ‘webinar’ on the ‘High Cost of Ethics Lapses’ in the management consulting profession.

I'm finishing the Project Lifecycles book. Last week, I realized I made several mistakes: It was past time to ask for people to write praise quotes. I had only asked men to write praise quotes.

In today’s corporate sphere, a growing disparity exists between companies’ declared values and their actions, leading to stakeholder skepticism. This divide prompts discussions about the feasibility of genuine societal contributions within capitalist frameworks.
