Books I have written (best place to buy is Amazon)
"Corporate Culture - Combining Purpose and Values" (2021)
Demonstrates how values can be developed and deployed as a foundation for behaviour, and how these must permeate every activity so as to become "moments of truth." Provides a "how to" guide to implementation.
"How Accountants Lost their Balance" (2021)
Demonstrates the rise of intangibles as drivers of value creation and the inability of accounting to embrace and communicate the substantial financial investment taking place to sustain these capabilities. Provides a call for action and suggests areas to be addressed.
"Reflective Leaders and High-Performance Organizations" (2012 Co-authored with Dr. Peter Smyth)
Demonstrates the leadership skills and capabilities required to support and develop high level of employee engagement and commitment. Based on 25 years of hands-on consulting experience.
"Governance, Accountability and Sustainable Development - an agenda for the 21st century" (2005)
Demonstrating how governance approaches must change to reflect a human-centric and intangible based business environment. While management adopts new approaches like dashboards and scorecards, boards and investors continue to rely on audits and financial performance - neither of which reveal the risk of sustaining capability.

"Values and Ethics" From Inception to Practice," (2008) Institute of Management Accountants (IMA, USA)
Unethical behavior is a growing challenge for business; this guideline demonstrates how a commitment to ethical behavior is more than a "plaque on the wall" and must be demonstrated by leadership and permeate every activity of the organization.
