What is Integrity?
When we say “integrity”, we mean the following:
- An individual has integrity if he/she is doing their work competently and honestly and completely.
- A process has integrity if it works as it is intended to and fits seamlessly into the larger system of which it is a part.
- An organisation has integrity if its work is done within proper accountability, competently, to completion and without diversion of output or resources to corrupt or dishonest ends.
Integrity Management Framework
The integrity management framework is a systemic and comprehensive approach that brings together instruments, processes and structures for fostering integrity and preventing corruption in organisations.
Our Integrity management framework aims at:
- Preventing corruption: reducing integrity violations through mapping integrity-risks and installing counter measures
- Promoting integrity through stimulating understanding, commitment and capacity for ethical decision making.
- Combines both the rules-based and values-based approaches
Two Strategies for Integrity Management
Literature on integrity management distinguishes two types of management strategies:
- Compliance based or Rule-driven
- Versus value based or Principles-driven
A ‘Compliance Strategy’ tries to prevent violations of regulations and self-interested behavior by employees by imposing standards of conduct that are intended to compel acceptable behavior.
An ‘Integrity Strategy’ seeks to create conditions that support right action by communicating the values and vision of the organization, aligning the standards of employees with those of the organization, and relying on the whole management team, not just lawyers and compliance officers.
Our Practical Road Map Approach
