Ethics in the News:
Corporate Social Opportunity - Taking Ethical Risks to Market
Global revolutions in technology, markets, demographics and values are giving companies a whole new set of issues that they have to manage urgently.

These issues include the environment, human rights, diversity, health, work-life balance and the community. Historically, these have been regarded as "soft issues", but they have become "hard" for business: hard to ignore, hard to manage, and very hard for the businesses that get them wrong.
 
Handled correctly these issues need not just be about minimizing risk, but could become a source of new marketplace insight and a stimulus to innovation.
 
Corporate social opportunities arise in many ways. Companies, for example, may consciously use their commitment to responsible business to gain new marketplace insights. Corporate social opportunities may also be a result of businesses working with unconventional, non-business partners to make projects commercially viable. Companies may even set up a community initiative but subsequently find it is commercially successful.
 
A company genuinely practicing responsible business and aspiring to corporate social opportunity is more likely to have eclectic and effective stakeholder engagement processes in place. Its employees, suppliers and business partners will have a better understanding of the company's interests in sustainability and where it might be particularly open to new ideas.

Keeping Up with CMS Compliance: Best Practices for Training Downstream Entities

Over the past 18 months or so, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the US Congress have added many new or expanded requirements for participation in, and compliance with, the Medicare prescription drug plan.

Kaplan EduNeering has written a white paper that not only details the most recent changes, but provides information on five best practices to meet the requirements for training employees and downstream entities. Finally, the paper describes how compliance training and communication acts as a marketplace and customer service differentiator.
