I Googled you and noticed you have some ideas in the corporate governance field. I can relate. I developed a simplified type of 15-c system for mutual fund governance. Open15c.com. As it works today, fund boards are given reports that only confuse and obfuscate the issues they should be dealing with. I really don't know why I bothered. The gatekeepers are not interested in real analysis. And if I was a trustee making $250,000 for 4 meetings a year I might rubber stamp everything too. Someone please test me ;)
Most people don't understand why governance, from business to government is crucial. I hate to say this, but seems humans need to kill each other in the millions before they re-value the importance of good governance. I could give you a million examples, as I'm sure you could, on how the U.S. has lost its values here. Indeed, I lectured at an MBA class on governance where 90% of the students were foreign. Why? Because they understood, coming from corrupt countries, the importance of good governance. Again, I could go on and on. Anyway, I agree with what you're saying.
One of the reasons I enjoy reading Tim Denning is that he has the values of which you speak.
