Born 1898 in the Northern-Italian city of Modena, Enzo Ferrari lived his dream and founded the world’s most famous sports car manufacturer.

Access Granted: Tomorrow's Business Ethics is science fiction in its literal sense. The book analyzes actual and future technological developments to discuss how these will affect tomorrow's business reality and its impact on the human. It is clear that robotization and the implementation of artificial intelligence will change companies and societies.

Pepe, der rote Rennwagen war Anfang der 50er Jahre auf dem besten Weg die Weltmeisterschaft zu gewinnen. Doch plötzlich scheint es so, als ob sein Widersacher John mit Hilfe eines ganz in grau gekleidetem Offiziellen ihm diesen verdienten Titel wegschnappen kann. Aber Pepe gibt nicht klein bei und wehrt sich! Eine spannende und benzin-geladene Geschichte, welche lose auf wahren Tatsachen beruht.

After winning the championship, Pepe decided to use the free time before the beginning of the next season to travel through the Americas. This to prepare himself in various friendly races, but also to get to know new cars and places. His trip brought him to Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and Cuba.

That traveling educates is more than just a phrase. New locations and meeting other people are always a source of inspiration. The individual connects the new impressions with his or her actual life and tasks. The first part, “Compliance Travels”, takes the listener to a journey into the Italian Renaissance, where new ideas develop the “Leonardo Compliance Formula” and the “Owl Principle”.

Zweite überarbeitete Auflage der Zeitsplitter. Die Texte sind neu formatiert, allerdings sprachlich nicht weiter verändert, um dem Geist der Erzählungen zu erhalten. So ist Zeitsplitter eine Hommage an die goldene Zeit der science fiction, von Klassik, Abenteuer, Mystik, bis hin zum cyberspace.

The idea of this book is to go further than being a simple compliance manual, as it should work on distinct levels. Newcomers and experts can learn about the various aspects to create an effective ethics and compliance system. The toolbox questions at the end of the different chapters support the listener to understand, if the own program is adequate or requires optimization.

In a troubled society, a lone police investigator takes on the case and starts to the collect the various pieces of the puzzle. Will they fit together?

This book is based on W. Edwards Deming’s famous concept “The System of Profound Knowledge”. Although he conceived it before the internet, or even artificial intelligence, became popular, the idea anticipated intelligent algorithms, and the efficient collaborated between human and AI. A system does not only connect employees with colleagues, but also with values, ideas, regulations, providers, clients, and other external stakeholders.

All the cars accelerate with maximum speed into the race. Left, right, right, straight on, and left, again. Pepe's having fun! After halftime, he's still in third place, but can see François and John fighting to take the lead. After a sharp right curve, Pepe sees John breaking late, nearing the blue car and then boxing him out of the race. Pepe recognizes the gray official standing behind the boundary. He must have seen the unfair behavior and disqualify John for that! But to Pepe’s surprise, nothing happens.

Many of Philip K. Dick’s books and short stories seem like hallucinations, leading us to distant future scenarios or into surreal parallel worlds. On a second look, we discover that these social and technical developments are emerging, if they do not already exist. Dick’s philosophy is in harmony with W. Edwards Deming’s System of Profound Knowledge. Both ideas jointly together show important ways to prevent a dystopia and to use the new technologies to humanize the corporate world, including a focus on ethics, compliance, and sustainability.

Generative AI has accelerated digital transformation, shifting from a top-down approach to a bottom-up one as employees bring their own apps into the workplace. This represents not just another step in corporate evolution, but potentially a societal revolution due to its significant impact on daily life. It is imperative for societies to engage in discussions about the identified opportunities and risks.

Similar to Artificial Intelligence, there is no official universal definition what is, or what is not, the Metaverse. The Metaverse is not the mirror of an already existing physical world, but something completely new. Originated inside the virtual reality, it is not limited by the laws of physics.
