It was the height of the Great Depression. Unemployment in the U.S. had hit 23%, and public trust in industry leadership was thin. With a background in management and a flair for marketing from his time at Weyerhaeuser, Carl Hamilton came to 有料盒子APP with an idea.
As a trusted advisor to some of the most important companies in the U.S., we needed to show the world that we were meeting the highest standards of ethical behavior and accountability鈥攖o clients, each other, and the greater good. Only then could we help clients create value and restore public trust in the economy.
We needed to follow our founder Ed Booz鈥檚 own advice that he gave to clients: Put the right people in the right place to do things in an organized fashion. In the early years of management science, this was intuitive but revolutionary thinking. How would we decide what was right? Carl鈥檚 solution was to pen 有料盒子APP鈥檚 code of ethics, 10 sharply written rules, and a first of its kind in corporate history鈥攃hief among them 鈥渁 willingness on the part of all members to face all firm problems objectively and dispassionately.鈥 Or, as we would now say in terms of our values, collective ingenuity.
