The Hidden Power of Integrity and Access to Vast Increases in Performance (Video and PDF file of Keynote Slides)

A large amount of the damage inflicted on people and organizations is caused by actions of individuals that are not in their own self interest. That is, each and every person consistently imposes costs on themselves, their loved ones, friends, associates, partners, employers, employees, and the public by actions that are not in their own self interest. And all this is invisible to each of us.We focus here on these invisible integrity issues that cause huge problems in our lives and to every one we come in contact with. We present a new model of integrity that will provide you powerful and actionable access to increased performance for yourself, your family and groups, and your organizations. This new model reveals the causal link between integrity and increased performance, quality of life, and value-creation for all entities, and provides access to that causal link. Integrity as we will define it is thus a factor of production as important as knowledge and technology, yet its major role in productivity and performance has been largely hidden or unnoticed, and therefore ignored and unmanagable by leaders, managers, politicians, economists and others
