This article compares building an effective corporate ethics and compliance program to the process of creating pottery. It discusses five key similarities:
1. Compose yourself - Those responsible for an ethics program must commit to doing what's right and ensure their strategy, tools, and "hands" are ready.
2. Know your materials - It's important to understand how decisions impact the final product and be able to articulate the program's purpose.
3. Prepare the clay - Building an ethical culture requires engaging stakeholders across the company, adapting to different viewpoints, and ensuring "buy-in."
4. Throw on the wheel - Implementing programs takes a physical and mental toll, but compliance professionals are passionate about

1. Quickly skim the questions or assignment below and the assignment rubric to help you focus.
2. Read the required chapter(s) of the textbook and any additional recommended resources. Some answers may require you to do additional research on the Internet or in other reference sources. Choose your sources carefully.
3. Consider the discussions and any insights gained from it.
4. Create your Assignment submission and be sure to cite your sources, use APA style as required, check your spelling.
Assignment:
1. Identify a company or organization in the media or with which you are familiar that operates ethically. What are the reasons this company/organization is ethical? (You may refer to the leadership, management, products, or services of the organization.)
2. Do you believe the covenantal ethic and social contract views are realistic for large organizations like Bank of America, JPMorgan, ExxonMobil, and Citibank, or federal agencies like the FTC and the Department of Defense? Why or why not? Explain.
3. Outline some steps you would recommend for preventing future corporate scandals like Enron, WorldCom, and the subprime lending crisis based on the contents of this module.
4. My job requires that I lie every day I go to work. I work for a private investigation agency called XRT. Most of the work I do involves undercover operations, mobile surveillances, and groundwork searches to determine the whereabouts of manufacturers that produce counterfeit merchandise. Each assignment I take requires some deception on my part. Recently I have become very conscious of the fact that I frequently have to lie to obtain concrete evidence for a client. I sometimes dig myself so deeply into a lie that I naturally take it to the next level, without ever accomplishing the core purpose of the investigation.
Working for an investigative agency engages me in assignments that vary on a day-to-day basis. I choose to work for XRT because it is not a routine 9-to-5 desk job. But to continue working for the agency means I will constantly be developing new untruthful stories. And the longer I decide to stay at XRT, the more involved the assignments will be. To leave would probably force me into a job photocopying and fling paperwork once I graduate from college. Recently I was given an assignment that I believed would lead me to entrap a subject to obtain evidence for a client. The subject had applied for disability on workers’ compensation after being hit by a truck. Because the subject refused to partake in any strenuous activity because of the accident, I was instructed to fake a flat tire and videotape the subject changing it for me. Although I did not feel comfortable engaging in this type of act, my supervisors assured me that it was ethical practice and not entrapment.

The document discusses the differences between corporate ethics and corporate social responsibility. It makes three key points:
1) Corporate donations to charities or social causes are acts of corporate social responsibility rather than ethics, as ethics concerns how money is made not just how it is donated.
2) Awards for "most ethical companies" often consider social responsibility factors like donations and employee benefits rather than how business is actually conducted through marketing, products, and pricing.
3) Terms like ethics and social responsibility are sometimes confused or used interchangeably without clear definitions, which can mask issues within an organization's actual culture.

Lesson 3: Social Business Messages
Introduction
Communicating in a social environment involves a knowledge of the cultures that you interact
with on a daily basis. The environment may be internal (involving coworkers and the culture of
the organization) or external to your organization (involving customers and other organizations).
Likewise, being aware of business etiquette is a necessity so that your communication does not
result in negative outcomes for you, your fellow workers, and your company.
An important communication function is networking, that is to say interacting with others
externally and internally. As much or more so than education and experience, networking can
help anyone’s career. Whether we like it or not, the majority of jobs are secured by networking
more so than a job application. Networking is about exchanging information about situations in
your line of work, sharing ideas, and helping others who may need advice or ask for help in
completing a project.
Networking
Networking is a forum in which contacts are developed both professionally and personally.
Business power and opportunities increase with the support and resources acquired by
networking. Networking groups help increase a customer base. The feedback from these groups
and the individuals who
compose them can help resolve issues that otherwise might be very challenging.
Networking online occurs at sites such as Linkedin, Biznik, Fast Pitch, Ryze, and dozens more.
Networking that occurs locally in the community is often fostered by volunteering at a variety of
services. Joining local business groups and other social organizations may change some business
practices with helpful and constructive advice from networking contacts. Through networking,
people encounter employees who want to work with them as they learn to share dreams of
success.
Communicating in Person
When communicating face to face, always be aware of business etiquette and interpersonal
communication. These skills can help or hinder credibility and persuasive abilities, especially
when promoting a business.
Business Etiquette
Business etiquette involves one’s conduct, the ways in which we speak to others, our
demonstration of respect for others, and several nonverbal communication habits such as
appearance, posture, and gestures. These habits are viewed in various ways by different cultures.
For example, in one culture, it may be appropriate to wear denims to a social gathering while in
another culture it is taboo.
We have to be aware of our hygiene while sharing a workspace with others. While smothering
others with too much perfume or the scent of aftershave lotion is certainly not a good idea, using
enough to encourage others to share our work environments in a comfortable way is very
appropriate. In any office, employees should always try to add to a positive work environment.

This document provides an overview of technical communication. It discusses key aspects of the field including rhetoric, collaboration, cultural considerations, and ethics. Rhetoric involves understanding your audience and goals to effectively communicate your message. Collaboration is essential for success in technical projects, as it allows teams to work together towards a common goal. When creating technical documents, it is important to consider cultural diversity and ensure materials can be understood by various cultural groups. Ethics, such as avoiding plagiarism and being honest, are also important aspects of technical communication. The document demonstrates how these principles were applied in an English technical writing course to create collaborative projects and communicate effectively for diverse audiences.

In the 20 years that Pragmatic Marketing has been around, we’ve seen enormous change in the importance and definition of the product management and marketing roles. Our goal as a company is to help arm people with the information and tools they need to really succeed in this changing environment. That’s why we’ve focused this issue on what it takes to become, discover and mentor top-notch talent.
Our own Paul Young leads the discussion with the seven X-factor traits that can be found in rock stars. Some of these might surprise you. But as author Saeed Khan points out, “even rock stars have backup bands.” Khan discusses how finding the right candidates is often less about their impressive resumes and more about how well they fit in your organization.
And that’s just the beginning. As always, we have included the best practices, real-world examples and tips you need to excel in your career. We hope you enjoy this issue.

Welcome to Cocooners.
The article discusses two main issues that contribute to ongoing ethical problems in business: failed leadership and lack of moral awareness. Failed leadership is about leaders not fully committing to transparency and empowering employees, which can lead to alienation. Leaders must also be morally aware by committing to principles, understanding risks of living by principles, and having resolve to pay the price for upholding values. Addressing these issues through values-based leadership training can help close the gap between professed and practiced values in organizations.

This document discusses building a sustainability workflow in packaging design. It argues that incorporating sustainability requires changing existing paradigms and ways of thinking. Designers need to understand packaging as part of a larger system and consider sustainability from the beginning of the design process. The document proposes retraining and educating designers on concepts like cradle to cradle to foster a sustainability consciousness in their work.
This document discusses personal development and maintaining good working relationships. It provides tips on personal development activities like improving self-awareness and employability. It emphasizes the importance of cooperation over confrontation in relationships. Maintaining good timekeeping, clean appearance, and reliable work can make a good impression. Having a positive attitude and listening to instructions are important behaviors in an industrial environment. Teamwork requires interpersonal skills, and one person acting alone could cause accidents. A student survey found that coursework and activities improved confidence in problem-solving and presentations.
Cambridge Social Innovation Presentation social innovation meetup [autosaved]Jeanette Sjoberg
+Acumen is the largest social sector online learning platform in the world. The Cambridge Social Innovation Hub was founded to create space for social entrepreneurs to learn skills that help serve themselves and people better. This presentation was given to another meetup group in Cambridge, CamCreatives, to showcase the last course we ran - "Human Centred Design for Social Innovation" - a creative and collaborative problem solving technique that promotes divergent and convergent thinking, contribution from interdisciplinary skilled people (complete strangers) and a chosen design challenge where a product or service is always developed on the back of the course. It's all about mindsets and moving from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset, empowering people. Anyone can be a change maker and anyone can be a social entrepreneur. An entrepreneur is someone that creates opportunities from resources that are already available. A social entrepreneur is one that additionally aims and delivers social impact.
The document provides an introduction and profile of Edward C. Owen, an inventor and product developer with nearly four decades of experience. It summarizes his background in various fields including mechanical engineering, product design, materials selection, and manufacturing processes. It also lists over 50 companies he has worked with in consulting roles providing services such as product design, engineering, tooling, and project management.
The student conducted a study comparing the memory performance of Argosy University students to the average college student. 100 Argosy students participated in a memory test where they studied random words for 2 minutes and then wrote down as many words as they could remember. The average for the Argosy students was 7.9 words. Using a t-test, the student found the results were inconclusive for showing Argosy students performed better, as the t-score of 0.034 was less than the critical value of 1.661 needed for significance. The student concluded working memory is typically around 7 items so exceeding that average was unlikely.

O
ne of the best periods of my life was
as a young college student. During
that time, it seemed that life was a
plethora of boundless learning opportunities.
A typical day involved visiting medical
research facilities complete with a cadaver lab;
engaging in Shakespearean role-play
activities; discussing the “meaning
of life” with philosophical peers; and
ending the day mixing math, poetry,
and music with the cadences found
within Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven.
Upon starting my career
with degree in hand, it was quite
disappointing to find that learning
in the workplace seemed to be contained
within packages of rigid parameters
and standardized tests. Where were the
impassioned individuals seeking converts to
soak up the drops of shared wisdom without
dampening the fires of curiosity?
During the ensuing years, I moved
through a myriad of careers ranging from
healthcare to communications, technical
documentation, and project management.
Although all were enjoyable initially, they
became mundane once the limitations of
learning were met. In 2013, however, my career
path took an unexpected turn. I became part
of a corporate Regulatory Compliance area
with responsibility over an ethics program.
Although I was not completely sure how
anyone “manages ethics” within a corporation,
it piqued my interest.
After being in the position a year and a
half, I realized two things: I was not bored
and ethical reconnaissance was not limited
to an individual, a department, or even a
specific line of business—it involved the very
embodiment of the corporation. It was during
this epiphany I thought back to my college
days. Although painting and design were my
chosen focus, I would often spend time with
one of my talented friends who identified as
a potter.
The art of ethics
Personally, I found the pottery studio to be
dusty, dirty, and quite chaotic. The seven-
step process my friend used to take a

non-descriptive piece of clay and turn it into
a beautiful piece of functional art amazed
me. I began to compare what I remembered
from my visits to the pottery studio with my
current position as Ethics Program Manager
and the similarities were surprising.
1. Compose yourself
Contrary to modern
society’s stereotypical
artist profile, my friend
had already identified
the appropriate process
that would lead to
his desired artistic
outcome and was
committed to this
purpose. As I was
busy trying to find a
“safe” place to sit, my
friend began preparing
himself to “commune”
with the clay. To do this he ensured his
hands were clean, his fingernails clipped, his
workspace organized to mimic his thought
processes, and his tools displayed and ready
for use.
Any individual who represents the ethical
component of an organization would be wise
to follow this same attention to detail, by
making sure they keep their hands “clean,”
their strategy focused, and their tools up-to-
date and easy to access. Most importantly,
citing from the Compliance 101 manual,1
this
individual must commit to an “ethical way of
conducting business and a system for helping
individuals to do the right thing.”
2. Know your materials
It is critical as a potter to understand the
various decisions regarding art production.
Everything from type of clay (e.g., low fire,
mid-range, and high fire) to the pottery
wheel used (e.g., kick wheel versus electric)
plays an important role in the final product
outcome. My friend would often spout words
like plasticity, oxidation, and reduction in
his efforts to explain the process he felt so
passionately about. For him, it wasn’t enough
to create something; you needed to know why
the final product was the way it was.
This is good
advisement to the
individual(s) working
to build an effective
compliance and ethics
program. Even with a
perfectly structured,
well-documented
project design, if the
program manager
does not understand
or cannot articulate the
overarching purpose,
it is highly unlikely
that other individuals
within the company will embrace the
proposed mantra. At the very least, credibility
takes a hit; at the very worst, believability
becomes non-existent.
3. Prepare the clay
Aside from the design portion, I found
the preparation of the clay to be the most
intriguing part of the process. It fascinated
me how the clay could be malleable yet
unyielding at the same time. Carefully, my
friend was able take clay that was too soft
and exact the correct firmness by wedging
it on canvas; conversely, he would sprinkle
water and fold the clay inward to soften clay
rigidity. Additionally, he was fanatical about
ensuring no air bubbles were present in the
clay. He continually stressed that he didn’t
want any “blebbing” or blistering, because in
extreme cases these trapped air bubbles could
cause the pottery to explode during the firing
process. The patience demonstrated in this

phase of the process was unlimited. He would
take whatever time was necessary to ensure
the clay was ready for shaping.
I view individuals encountered
throughout the workplace as organizational
“clay.” These include employees, managers,
senior leaders, shareholders, board members,
third-party representatives, customers,
etc. Similar to the clay used when making
pottery, these individuals can be both
malleable and unyielding. It is imperative
that those responsible
for ensuring an “ethical”
corporate environment
elicit patience and
adapt an instructional
attitude. Building an
ethical workplace is
not a role accomplished
through one individual,
department, or line of
business. We as compliance professionals must
deliberately engage key proponents across
the corporate footprint and encourage their
input and expertise. Sometimes we get so
focused on the materials and excited for the
process implementation, we shortchange the
preparation piece of engaging our workforce.
4. Throw on the wheel
I often found myself looking for a way to
escape watching my friend perform this
portion of the process. As he melded with the
materials, a higher-level connectivity seemed
to ensue. Oppositionally, I clearly saw the toll
the process was taking on him physically.
Preferring to use the kick wheel meant that
as he bent the clay between his finger joints,
his legs were working to keep the rhythmic
momentum of the wheel going. Even at his
young age, the painful joint damage was
already beginning. When questioned as to why
he put himself through such physical stress, he
simply stated, “Because it’s who I am.”
Those of us working in the Compliance
and Ethics field can relate to such a situation.
Our goal is to create and maintain a holistic
environment of ethical integrity and
alignment—a beautiful masterpiece in the
midst of business operations that, like the
pottery studio, may be somewhat dirty and
chaotic. As we strive day by day to create a
utopia that meets legal regulations, enforces
corporate policies, adheres to human resource
mandates, and supports consumer advocacy
rights, we encounter
challenges and
roadblocks that take
their toll on us mentally
and physically. Although
many of us pride
ourselves on not taking
things “personally”
in this field, when
you invest so much of
yourself in something you care deeply about,
remaining unimpassioned is truly not an
option “because it’s who we are.”
5. Understand design layers
As a painter and designated “colorist,” I
often provided requested input into this
phase of the process. At times, I found it
extremely difficult to resist picking up a
brush and personally applying a layer of
glaze, which usually led to being promptly
ushered back to my own canvas. To a painter,
this was the stage where unlimited artistic
expression thrived, complete with overglazes,
underglazes, ash glazes, crystalline glazes,
slips and engobes, burnishing, etc. With all
of this opportunity, I was surprised when I
first saw my friend painstakingly applying
wax resist to the bottom of a bowl. What
was so important about the underside of
the vessel? The practicality of his answer
was indisputable: “Any fleck of glaze on the
bottom of a vessel may cause it to weld to the
I view individuals
encountered
throughout the
workplace as
organizational “clay.”

kiln during the firing process and potentially
destroy the art piece.”
As compliance and ethics professionals,
we evangelize “tone at the top.” In her
article The Advantages of Workplace Culture
in an Organization, Miranda Brookins states,
“Employees and organization members take
cues from management as they form their
opinions about the culture of a workplace.
Once employees adopt the shared norms
of a company, it unifies employees and
management.”2
Senior
leadership is the design
hub of a corporation
and, as with pottery,
reflects the outward
image of the company
whether that be high
gloss, stony matte, or
lackluster. A critical
component of our role
within the organization
is to ensure that, in
the excitement of
building a compliance
program, we do not
lose sight of the importance of our employee
base. We are the corporate champions who
establish and enforce protective barriers
for our workforce in an effort to strengthen
organizational integrity.
6. Formulate the firing process
The final phase of the pottery-making process
is akin to watching a caterpillar transform into
a butterfly. The potter must be aware of object
composition and determine the firing method
prior to placing the piece of art inside the kiln.
After introduction to the firing process, the
clay becomes a new substance called ceramic.
Ceramic pieces are strong and durable, and
many have withstood the test of time. It is
important to remember the old adage “tried
by fire” when going through this part of the
process. My friend always said that when he
opened the kiln doors, he would instinctively
close his eyes, as it was at this point he would
have to acknowledge the results of his efforts.
Although many masterpieces did emanate
from the firing chamber, several others were
lost due to imperfections missed during prior
stages of the process.
How many times have we labored to
implement a new process or an enhanced
system to strengthen our corporate
environment, only to
find that we forgot a
certain component or
the item did not work
as designed? Even
with the engagement
of strong partners
such as Internal
Audit, Accounting,
Information
Technology, and
Human Resources,
it is impossible to
remember everything.
This is why
incorporating test plans and focus reviews
into project plans is critical. These tests allow
for the involvement of individuals to “heat”
up what is “known,” allowing us to sample an
outcome prior to fully opening the kiln doors.
7. Use the vessel
Everyone has a personal preference when
it comes to artwork. I still laugh when I
think back to the day a potential customer
haughtily informed my friend, “that I don’t
know much about art, but I know what I
like.” The ceramic in question was a large
fruit bowl decorated in pale tones of taupe
with crystallized glazing. Trying to make
my friend feel better, I made the mistake of
saying something like, “It is so beautiful,
it should be displayed in a museum.”
Senior leadership is
the design hub of a
corporation and, as
with pottery, reflects
the outward image of
the company whether
that be high gloss, stony
matte, or lackluster.

Instead of the anticipated reaction of shared
partnership, he informed me with angry
disdain that, “Unless art is functional, it
serves no purpose.”
Now there are varying schools of thought
to my friend’s response, but for our purposes
within the Compliance realm, his statement
rings true. Even if a corporation has the
best-designed, interactive code of conduct
training program; frequent well-written
communications; prominently displayed
reporting mechanisms; and easy-to-access,
structured policies and procedures—unless
the information disseminated is put to
use—the overarching purpose of creating an
ethical environment becomes moot.
Conclusion
It does not escape me that my current role
within Compliance has brought me full circle
to my glorious college days. As compliance
professionals, there are many truths to learn
from artistic endeavors. To parody Oscar
Wilde’s often quoted The Decay of Lying essay,3
I am convinced that “Art imitates compliance
far more often than compliance imitates art.” ✵
