What does it really mean to be a person of integrity and why do so many organisations cite it as their highest value and yet struggle to effectively incorporate it into their culture and practices, beyond a compliance-led, box-ticking exercise? How do we find it and, more importantly, hold on to it – as individuals and organisations? We examine why it has the power to enhance individual agency, wider society and corporate flow and argue that it is a fundamental prerequisite for sustainable economic success.
Building on long-standing experience and research in such diverse fields as ethics, futures literacy, leadership and change, we are proud to announce the creation of the Integrity Academy. Our ambition is to develop and further the practice of integrity through dialogue, exchange, exploration, education and research in an international and multi-cultural context, in order for integrity to become a way of being in the world.
