How to build integrity-driven organizations that prevent misconduct through effective compliance design
In Paper to Practice, Harvard Business School professor and Integrity Lab founder Eugene Soltes reveals why companies continue to face major fines, reputational damage, and regulatory scrutiny from employee misconduct despite extensive compliance program efforts. Drawing on his work with multinational organizations, including more than two dozen Fortune 100 companies, global regulatory agencies, and more than a decade of research, Soltes exposes a fundamental problem with corporate compliance: companies often measure inputs instead of outcomes.
This book delivers a data-driven framework for transforming compliance from a "check-the-box" exercise into a measurable business activity that drives real behavioral change. Readers will discover how leading organizations are moving beyond traditional compliance programs to build integrity-driven cultures that create measurable value for the business.
