  • Great addition.

    Thoughtful discussion on the corporate responsibility landscape and all that it entails. The work looks differently at different organizations, and the discussions gently guide listeners through the nuances in lay terms. It’s a keeper!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

41. Read Responsibly with Compliance Expert Lisa Beth Lentini Walker
Q: What do you see as the future of compliance teams in light of AI and automation?
Automation will handle routine reviews and data processing, but humans will handle checks, on-site audits, and nuanced decision-making. The role will shift toward leveraging technology while emphasizing accountability, training, and human-centric leadership.
41. Read Responsibly with Compliance Expert Lisa Beth Lentini Walker
Q: How has the perspective on ethics and ESG evolved, and what language do you think best supports values-driven organizations?
There's been pushback against ethics as a morality-bound term; many prefer values-driven decision making and codes of conduct over traditional ethics labels. The goal is to find language that captures aspirational, measurable behavior aligned with corporate values.
41. Read Responsibly with Compliance Expert Lisa Beth Lentini Walker
Q: Tell us what Raise Your Game, Not Your Voice means and what problem you and Stef aimed to solve in writing the book.
The book focuses on bridging the gap between communications and compliance by leveraging active listening, storytelling, and root-cause analysis to build credibility and influence, ensuring that compliance efforts are values-based and effectively communicated rather than simply rule-based.
36. Read Responsibly Book Series Conversation 1: 21st Century Corporate Citizenship
Q: Ten years later, what would you change or keep about the book's structure and content?
They would likely update the title and add modern topics like AI and inclusion, while preserving the 10-by-10 question structure that keeps the content actionable and timeless for guiding leadership discussions and organizational practice.
36. Read Responsibly Book Series Conversation 1: 21st Century Corporate Citizenship
Q: What did you hope the book would do and how did you bring it out there as you launched?
They aimed to give executives and managers concrete tools to guide strategy and governance around CSR, ESG, and citizenship, and used speaking engagements, courses, and conference presence to disseminate the content rather than relying solely on book sales; the center supported distribution and hands-on learning.
