How do you build a healthy, high-performing organizational culture that fosters long-term success?
Modern professionals are facing increasingly complex and interconnected challenges in the workplace. Whether it’s navigating evolving regulatory requirements, managing stakeholder expectations, or mitigating the risks associated with poor governance, the importance of maintaining strong ethical standards and organizational culture has never been greater.
In 2002, Cynthia Cooper, former VP of Internal Audit at WorldCom, was on the frontlines of unraveling what would become the largest corporate accounting fraud case in the U.S. at the time. As Cynthia investigated with her team and discovered the gravity of the fraud, she made the brave decision to blow the whistle on WorldCom. While Cynthia’s experience is one-of-a-kind, there are many lessons we can all relate to.
Her story highlights the importance of leadership, culture, and ethics in business – elements that resonate deeply with all professionals striving to safeguard their organizations from financial, reputational, and operational risks.
Cynthia will share lessons from her journey, exploring the consequences of cultural breakdowns and ethical lapses, which can lead to fraud and organizational collapse, and provide actionable strategies for strengthening culture to drive positive outcomes, such as reducing turnover, improving retention, boosting profits, and gaining competitive advantage.
