The Jacoby Consulting Group Blog
Welcome to the Jacoby Consulting Group blog.
You will immediately notice that this blog covers a wide range of themes - in fact, whatever takes my fancy or whatever I feel strongly about that is current or topical.
Although themes may relate to business, corporate or organisational issues (i.e. the core talents of JCG), they also cover issues on which JCG also feels warranted to comment, such as social issues, my books, other peoples' books and so on.
You need to know that comments are moderated - not to stifle disagreement - but rather to eliminate obnoxious or incendiary comments.
If a reader wishes to pursue any specific theme in more detail, specifically in relation to corporate, business or organisational issues, or in relation to my books, then the reader is invited to send an off-line email with a request. A prompt response is promised.
I hope you enjoy this blog - sometimes informed, sometimes amused and sometimes empassioned. Welcome and enjoy.

Boards and sustainability and social responsibility
Remember that sustainability and social responsibility, as noble as they may each be, are "merely" enablers for the core purpose of the organisation - i.e. the satisfaction of owner objectives (most commonly wealth generation in some form.)
I have seen scores of corporations that forget the reason they exist and invest shareholder funds in activities that are noble but unnecessary.
The corporation must abide by all legislation and regulation. Beyond that they MUST get shareholder approval.
