 By Graham Wilson, on April 13th, 2010 By Graham Wilson, on October 13th, 2009Last week’s 10th Annual Conference of Corporate Governance (#wccg09), explored alternative, hopefully more effective, means of corporate governance. What emerged clearly from the presentations and the discussion was that our current approaches to governance miss the mark. They are targeted at corporates rather than individuals, at the workforce rather than the directors, at catching … / continued By Graham Wilson, on July 21st, 2009Be honest, you didn’t expect to read that did you?! Well, in 2007, the US fast food industry consisted of around 250000 outlets, of which McDonald’s alone had 14000 in the US and a further 32000 worldwide.

A former colleague calls – perhaps it’s one of those you’ve had to ‘let go’ this year, or someone who saw an opportunity elsewhere and left. Their call is no surprise, because you’ve kept in touch with them ever since. … / continued By Graham Wilson, on March 3rd, 2009Oxfordshire-based businessman, Dr Graham Wilson, is leading a call for politicians to seize the opportunity presented by the current economic crisis simultaneously to address long-term environmental threats and global poverty. This was the conclusion of delegates at the 4th World Congress on Corporate Responsibility who met this week in Vilamoura, Portugal (26-28 February 2009). … / continued By Graham Wilson, on February 23rd, 2009In a few days time, I shall be giving a keynote address, and acting as rapporteur and co-chair, at the 4th Global Conference on Social Responsibility in Vilamoura, Portugal. I’ve been asking for help from lots of people online and off- in preparing for this and so I thought it was only fair to … / continued By Graham Wilson, on February 17th, 2009It’s easy to get carried away with apocalyptic thoughts about the future of the planet and shrink into a personal cocoon.
