Overview

The accelerating pace of technological development combined with the massive challenges that humankind faces make ethics evermore important. If we do not stop to think about what is fundamentally important and act accordingly, then we might find ourselves in a world that we do not wish for. Being an ethical company is fast becoming a business advantage but soon it will be a hygiene factor. I.e. you will not be rewarded for being an ethical company, but you will be punished if you are not. However, 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.
