Second Annual "Building The Trustworthy Organization" Summit to Take Place on October 25 at Fordham

By: Fordham University
 
MANHATTAN, N.Y. - Oct. 23, 2013 - PRLog -- The Consortium For Trustworthy Organizations at Fordham University today announced that its second annual "Building The Trustworthy Organization" summit will take place on October 25, 2013, at the University's Lincoln Center campus in New York City. The 2013 conference will focus on how leaders and companies can build trustworthy organizations that are exemplars in regaining the trust that has been lost in corporate and public life.

"The erosion of trust in many of our major institutions has been consistent and is now at alarmingly low levels. Comparing Gallup Poll data from 2013 with scores in the 1970s shows a 70 percent decline in confidence in Congress, a 50 percent decline in banks, more than a 30 percent decline in big business, and a 30 percent decline in the presidency. Fortunately, our research shows that despite the overall declines in trust, some institutions and companies have managed to become more trustworthy and have actually increased confidence among stakeholders in this somewhat cynical age we find ourselves in," said Robert Hurley, Ph. D., professor and director of The Consortium For Trustworthy Organizations at Fordham University.

The conference will shine a spotlight on how building trustworthy organizations can lead to competitive advantage and reputational excellence. It is being hosted by Fordham Schools of Business with support from Ernst & Young, LLP.

The conference features a roster of speakers from Fordham, Harvard, Durham, and Duke Universities and global organizations such as IBM; Arthur W. Page Society; the Ethics & Compliance Officer Association; Aflac; Allstate; GE; Ernst & Young, LLP; and Wyndham Worldwide (http://www.marketwatch.com/companies/Wyndham_Worldwide?lc...). These thought leaders will participate in plenary sessions on defining the trustworthy organization, managing reputation, board governance and trust, and creating an ethical corporate culture.
