Many of Philip K. Dick’s books and short stories seem like hallucinations, leading us to distant future scenarios or into surreal parallel worlds. On a second look, we discover that these social and technical developments are emerging, if they do not already exist. Dick’s philosophy is in harmony with W. Edwards Deming’s System of Profound Knowledge. Both ideas jointly together show important ways to prevent a dystopia and to use the new technologies to humanize the corporate world, including a focus on ethics, compliance, and sustainability.

At first glance, the compliance message is quite simple: bribery and corruption are forbidden. Internal policies are based on external laws.

That is why the compliance function is not primarily based on documents, but focuses on people.

The Theory of Business Enterprise (1904) is a political economy book by Thorstein Veblen which examines the growing corporate domination of culture and the economy. At its core, The Theory of Business Enterprise is an analysis of two intertwined but clashing motivations: that of business and that of industry. Business is the making of profits. Industry is the making of goods.

We live in a regulated world.

Gideon has spent his career at the intersection of digital systems and human decision-making—and he's seen what happens when we get that balance wrong. In Don't Forget the Humans, he draws on hard-won experience to make an urgent case: the most critical failures in technology aren't technical. They're human. This book is part professional reckoning, part memoir, and part roadmap.

Ethics - described as the norms by which acceptable and unacceptable behaviors are measured - has been the concern, and perhaps the great dilemma, of sentient humans since Socrates subjected it to philosophical inquiry almost 2500 years ago. Socrates believed, without universal acceptance, that the most pertinent issues people must deal with are related to how we live our lives, what actions are and are not righteous, and how people should live together peacefully and harmoniously.
