The Business of Ethics

In this episode of the Center Stage podcast, Alan Richter and Joe Cahill discuss ethics in business and its impact on projects and organizations. As business becomes more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, organizations must address ethical considerations both internally and externally to stay relevant and reputable. To do so, they need leaders who can navigate the complexities of ethical decision making by understanding the impact of culture on ethics and the need for inclusivity. Dr. Richter is the Founder and President of QED Consulting, and the co-author of the Global Ethics & Integrity Benchmarks. He has consulted corporations for many years in multiple capacities, primarily in the areas of leadership, values, culture, and change. Dr. Richter has led teams in the development of leadership programs and processes and has designed pioneering instructional products in the areas of leadership, business ethics, workforce diversity, globalization, marketing, technology, and communications. He is a frequent presenter, has taught philosophy, psychology, and interdisciplinary courses, and is the author of several books and articles.
