Is it enough to be nice - or is it more complicated than that? Perhaps, all we have is our common humanity. We need to work on this, consciously and deliberately; belonging to place, finding good and building community based on an unconditionality. Born out of serious illness and inspired by E.M. Forster's A Passage to India, David Jackman - ethicist, regulator, standard-setter - offers an autobiographical guide, packed with tools, frameworks, maps and a Charter, to help everyone along this 'necessary journey'. It is a journey of an essential growing up, of human maturity, of building a whole that is worthwhile. But we find no pain, no gain. We must travel together, but the greater tragedy is not to journey at all.

Corporate maturity is introduced as a new and valuable concept that provides a holistic view of an organization's performance, culture and resilience. This book presents a general model of corporate maturity, applicable to any sector and demonstrates how an organization can enhance its maturity, particularly through a focus on ethics, good governance and community outcomes. The author shows how mature organizations are those that find connections between corporate purpose and wider social needs. The authentic company, much in demand by investors, consumers, regulators, and employees, is one that can be trusted to deliver these needs as result of deeply embedded integrity, uncompromising unconditionality and outcomes rooted in sustainable communities.
