A wise person /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/92113/u2013 or at least some person /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/92113/u2013 once said: “If you don’t like following rules, just break some…You are sure to end up with more.”/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/92113/n Nobody likes having to follow rules. In any major organization /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/92113/u2013 be it in the private or public sector /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/92113/u2013 there are lots of rules and regulations to follow. The bureaucracy associated with rules can sometimes feel crushing, and compliance has become an industry unto itself. Countless hours in the professional world are spent on regulations training, enforcement and documenting compliance./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/92113/n Of course, rules and regulations exist because someone, at some time, did something unethical, or at the very least, someone at some time imagined a world in which someone would do that unethical thing. Organizations certainly need rules, or something that keeps stakeholders operating on the straight and narrow. There are so many past and recent examples of unethical choices. Funds are misspent. Personal information becomes publically available. Environments are harmed. And when people within an organization make poor choices, there invariably follows a cry for more rules and regulations./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/92113/n Compliance-based governance is one way to maintain proper functioning of a complex organization. Yet, compliance is regularly met with blank stares, nodding heads, and frustration over red tape. So is there a better way to ensure that organizations function ethically?/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/92113/n
