Volkswagen, Boeing, Theranos, Uber, FTX, the UK Post office. Almost every day we find another big corporate scandal in the news and in many of those scandals, the production and use of software as at the core. Have you ever asked yourself whether your company could be the next one? Whether you could be involved in such huge trouble? Probably not. People in all those companies also believed it would never happen to them. Until it did. We all tend to believe that bad things are done by bad people – and we are not like them. However, most of the time, it is people like you and me who push organizations over the moral (and legal) cliff. Managers with values and good intentions. If this is the case, we need to better understand the mechanisms behind systematic organizational misbehavior. What if there is the same repeating pattern in all those scandals? What if you could see it coming? After investigating numerous corporate scandals, digging deep into court documents, testimonials, insider reports, I have found the dark pattern that connects all scandals. Find out what it takes to protect your own integrity and that of your organization!
