Presentation
A culture of integrity and trust can make your organization agile and resilient. But boosting integrity at the heart of your organization implies several governance efforts.
How do you nurture trust for open conversations in your teams? How can you recognize potential whistleblowing, and ensure reports of wrongdoing are dealt with in a proper and timely manner? How can you support and protect those who speak-up, as well as the organization and others involved?
Designed for people in oversight and governance roles, this series of four sessions brings together four top experts, each focusing on a specific aspect of organizational integrity and trust.
The sessions with be as interactive as possible and enable participants to learn from top experts in the field as well as from each other, based on own experience. They will be held under confidential “Chatham House” rules, to allow participants to share their challenges openly.

Course objectives
Detailed Programme
Martin Woods
Financial crime and whistleblowing expert, Director at AAAML and at Global Compliance Institute
This session explores mindsets at work in oversight, prevention and investigation. Who are you and what culture do you drive – detectives, risk assessors, information gatherers? Who is the whistleblower before they report the wrongdoing, and who do they become after the whistleblowing? What is the brand of your protection – police, advice, vigilance or vigilante?
Wim Vandekerckhove
(Full) Professor of Business Ethics at EDHEC Business School
In this session you will be able to consider your organization’s approach in light of key research findings about speak-up, silence, listening and ignoring. What insights does the science on whistleblowing bring, and how can you enhance trustworthiness in your organizational process and practices. How can you unravel the common notion of trust into leverageable dimensions for your management?
Mona Caroline Chammas
Attorney & Ethics Director, GOVERN&LAW
Wim Vandekerckhove
(Full) Professor of Business Ethics at EDHEC Business School
In this session you will benchmark your organization’s approach to international standards for whistleblowing systems, namely ISO37002 Whistleblowing Management Systems and ICC2022 Whistleblowing Guidelines. You will also learn what the requirements of the EU Directive on whistleblower protection are, and explore best practices for complying with these.
Wendy Addison
Founder and CEO SpeakOut-SpeakUp
In this session you will explore the behavioral barriers that stop teams and organizations from capitalizing on cultures of candor and courageous conversations. How do we identify, interrupt and change individual, group and organizational patterns? Why are we spending money on putting out fires instead of preventing fires? How can we learn to ask the right questions to do the right thing? How do we create an environment where problems are identified in their nascent stage? Why is it so difficult to listen and act on critical feedback?
