Eswatini: Session 1

Ethics is about leadership … Full stop!

Of the eight critical success factors that I have set out in my Adams’ Ethics Pizza™ methodology, I have identified leadership as the one factor that stands out! As Edward Hennessy said “Ethics must begin at the top of an organisation. It is a leadership issue, and the CEO must set the example”. The ethical example that should be set by leaders at all levels is an essential building block in constructing an ethical organisation.

Brian Adams

3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Zimbabwe: Session 2

Fraud incidence in the Insurance Sector in Zimbabwe

There have been reports of fraud in the insurance sector in Zimbabwe. This presentation attempts to unpack the issue and explore the incidence, fraud types and what measures have been put in place by the authorities in mitigation.

CEO of The Ethics Architect

Thompson Mucheki

Founder & Director of Judicia Forensics Advisory

Brian is passionate about conceptualising, developing, and managing innovative projects, products and services which challenge the status quo so that the world will become a better place to live and work.

He was born in Cape Town and was schooled at Rondebosch Preparatory and High schools. He has a B.Econ degree from the University of Stellenbosch and is a graduate of the South African Army Command & Staff College.

He is a certified ethics officer, a Pioneer Member of the Ethics Practitioners Association and one of the first group of ten ethics practitioners to qualify for the professional designation EP(SA).

Brian was one of the pioneers of outsourced anonymous reporting services in South Africa in 2000 and is the author of a book “Managing Outsourced Reporting Services Effectively”.

He is known as The Ethics Architect™ and is passionate about assisting clients to build ethical businesses and defeat the concerted attack of workplace crime. He achieves this through his innovative reporting service called Be Heard® and through his unique ethics surveys, consulting, and training.

He speaks regularly at conferences, workshops and webinars and lectures at academic institutions and is a Professional Member of the Professional Speakers’ Association of Southern Africa.

Because new businesses are like sea turtles – only about 5% of them survive – he is passionate to see more companies succeed and grow to maturity and become sustainable and profitable.
