ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR

Responsibility, Tradition & Value-Based Leadership

For Bachmann Analytics, CSR and business ethics comprises of 11 building blocks. As a jump start a workshop is offered, in which Bachmann Analytics introduces these building blocks, making them transparent and understandable. The principles of the „honourable“ merchant or business person can be put into practice right away. SME and even smallest businesses can apply most of the 11 components. Larger organisations will obviously need more effort; here, the leadership is a crucial part of the implementation process of CSR and business ethics. In order to achieve a level of „true“ Governance, organisations  need to build up the right level of Compliance, prevent even minor forms of corruption,  install Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and look at a successful (real!) implementation of according processes and systems.

Next to the own experience, since several years Bachmann Analytics are researching, how global corporates and our global Mittelstand can implement business ethics, and the corresponding leadership which is required. This could also come in the form of CSR, a compliance project, or increasingly now in the form of EN ISO 26000. This is why Bachmann Analytics knowa all the road blocks, pitfalls and disappointments that hinder implementation. By means of the method of in-depth interviews client organisations are analysed in a very focused way, how deep ethical behaviour is engrained or anchored into the organisation and the leadership culture. How the corporate ethical climate fares in this, and if processes (those, and others) generally function. It is one of the most difficult tasks of change management, to make sure these processes get successfully implemented in a credible and and effective way, stressing „successfully“!

If you do pursue such plans, Bachmann Analytics can support you in several ways. In workshops it is clarified, what „business ethics“ mean to you, your company or your management team, and which components are important for your business or operations, which are already in place, and which are further needed. Via an analysis/audit making use of in-depth interviews Bachmann Analytics can place you and your organisation on a readyness grid. Appropriate recommendations, a project plan, the development of measures for implementation and success control round off the action plan. Bachmann Analytics are active supporting the resulting  change management, being very beneficial for clients in making use of 15 years experience as a manager of purest change and of the ongoing research about organisational transitions, transformation and implementation.
