Culture. Conduct. Ethics.
Expertise
Culture
Diagnosing organisational culture
Identifying the many factors - visible and invisible - that shape your people's experience, and weigh on the decisions they make every day.
Helping teams act on strategic goals
Aligning the day-to-day things that people care about, and the decisions they make, with the outcomes the organisation is trying to achieve.
Conduct
Understanding conduct risk
Pinpointing the features of organisational culture that generate risk of conduct failure, or diagnosing why conduct failure has occurred.
Implementing a conduct framework
Putting in place the formal structures and processes that minimise conduct risk and demonstrate due diligence.
Ethics
Supporting ethical framing of strategy
Articulating the goals your business pursues and how it pursues them, and finding common ground with diverse stakeholder groups by presenting a rounded view of these goals.
Strengthening regulatory and investor positioning
Aligning your culture and conduct environment with the 'why' behind the rules and expectations that shape your operating environment.
Approach
​​I help you understand the complex goals that motivate your people to do what they do, what it feels like to be part of your organisation, and how these goals and experiences translate into behaviour.
​
These are the things at the core of organisational culture and the things that shape your conduct environment.
​
With this understanding I help you shape a place where your people can be at their best, creating the best outcomes for themselves, for your business, and for the community to which you belong.

About me.
My name is James Dempsey.
I have over a decade of experience advising the boards and senior leaders of global firms, regulators and purpose-led organisations. Much of that work has been undertaken at times of crisis, when the culture and values of those organisations have been under the most pressure.
​
In addition, I have taught business ethics at world leading universities, including the University of Warwick and Rotterdam School of Management, and I hold a PhD in business ethics from the Universities of St Andrews and Stirling.
