Read moreAn online ethics training programme that explores ethical dilemmas in a professional environment.
This innovative programme is delivered via e-mail, and therefore does not require employees to spend training time away from their desks. Participants respond to ethical dilemmas by voting online, and receive anonymous feedback about their own choices benchmarked against their peers. Feedback can be either generic or customized based on the client’s ethics policies. Upon completion of a pre-determined number of dilemmas participants receive a certificate of completion.

Read moreKeeping Good CompanyTM is a board game that explores the environmental, social, governance & ethical implications of corporate decision-making. The game simulates a day in the life of the newly-appointed CEO of a large multi-national corporation with offices in more than 100 countries.
The game is played by five players who go through an adrenalin-filled day, including meetings with the corporation’s production, finance and marketing executives, lunch with the chairman of the board and a confrontation with a journalist, to mention only a few.
Read moreThe Board Game is a corporate governance simulation that is fully integrated with actual board meetings. Directors are presented with a real-world corporate governance case study, based on a case that ended up in a court of law.
The case study appears on the board agenda and discussion at the meeting is facilitated by the chairman (hence no need for an external facilitator to be present). The facts of the case are presented in such a way that the board is forced to have a debate and make a decision as if it were a standard agenda item.

Read moreAssistance with the corporate reporting processes based on the International Framework (International Integrated Reporting Council) and the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative.
The board evaluation methodology takes cognisance of local and global developments in corporate governance, and aims to improve board performance by focusing on issues that are material to both the company and the industry. With reference to South African companies, the service is fully aligned with the King IV Code on Corporate Governance for South Africa 2016, which requires the following: “The board should ensure that the evaluation of its own performance and that of its committees, its chair and its individual members, support continued improvement in its performance and effectiveness”.
Assistance based on a proprietary conceptual framework that distinguishes between the governance of ethics and the management of ethics. In terms of governance, assistance is provided to boards and appropriate board committees (Social and Ethics Committees in South Africa). In terms of management, clients are guided to develop appropriate interventions based on the following dimensions: commitment, measurement, engagement, guidance, support, compliance and reporting.
Drafting of codes based on stakeholder engagement and benchmarking, designing appropriate communication and training programmes, delivering face-to-face training, training of trainers and online training
Assistance based on a proprietary conceptual framework that aims to assist corporations to conceptualise, develop and implement effective corporate responsibility programmes. It is underpinned by the need to have a thorough understanding of responsibility, with specific reference to the distinction between (but not separation of) the moral and business case. Based on the framework, clients are guided to take responsibility, and to engage in activities that relate to internal processes (governing responsibility, managing responsibility and reporting on responsibility) and respond to the external activities of regulating responsibility.
