Post Office Scandal - what lessons to learn

About this event

In today's business world, maintaining strong corporate governance is more critical than ever. Most of us have been shocked by the corporate governance failings at the Post Office. Sadly, this is not an isolated incident; there are plenty of other cases. In just recent months there have been reports of Carillion (financial irregularities), Boo-Hoo (unethical trading), News Group (Phone Hacking) and Axiom Ince (financial irregularities) to name just a few.

None of us want to be part of these stories, but as the Post Office enquiry has shown – many people, including lawyers, become involved and fail to do the ‘right thing’.

This raises two questions:

  • (1) How do we avoid being embroiled in the ‘wrong thing’? and
  • (2) How do we help our organisation to always be the good corporate citizen?
At our September Senior Counsel forum, Iain Larkins of Radius Law will chat with Gail Harrison, MD and Owner of Sewells. Gail is a Leadership and Culture Specialists who helps develop inspiring successful leaders, create positive cultures and embed sustainable performance improvements in organisations. The session will offer powerful insights on leading change and building organisations that thrive on integrity. There will also be an opportunity for peer-to-peer discussion in small virtual break-out groups.
