This chapter explores the intricate relationship between trust, corporate governance, and socio-technical ethics, emphasizing the need for genuine democratic development processes.

How can businesses make better decisions?

The corporate world needs new values, values that inspire different motivations for existing. But doing so within the existing framework of driving shareholder value is so complicated that many are claiming it can't be done. Socio-technological ethicist Nate Kinch is trying anyway.

Nate works at the intersection of values and technology, working on redesigning corporate values by focusing on building trust and morality within organisations.

We also discuss the drivers of this corporate crisis, including the story of separation.
