"Purpose Delivered is a most important book that, rightly, articulates the urgent case for a reorientation of how many business leaders need to think in order to help capitalism rediscover a better purpose, and with it, more desperately needed legitimacy. But in Alan’s case, it is written by someone who was walked the walk and not just talked the talk."Lord Jim O’Neill, Chairman Chatham House. Formerly chairman Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Commercial Secretary to the UK Treasury
"There is no doubt the case for an organisation to be Purpose-led has never been stronger. In this very important book, Alan sets out the ways organisations can enact purpose, including why CEOs need to take ownership of the agenda and the value of metrics that help to evaluate the success of an organisation in delivering on its purpose. A timely and thought provoking read."Kevin Ellis, Chairman PricewaterhouseCoopers
"Just imagine if each individual, community, business and government truly lived a ‘purpose’ that has benefit to society, with integrity…sounds like a system with compound positive interest! A dream, or an intent that needs a plan? Here we have an excellent analytical framework, a case study multinational and illuminating examples from personal CEO experience that demonstrate the way forward for us and for business. Thank you, Alan."Gail Klintworth, Chair Integrity Action. Formerly, Global Chief Sustainability Officer Unilever
"Alan’s CEO practitioner experience in how to deliver a purpose-driven business is clearly demonstrated, analytically and practically, in his book. When presenting to our MBA students, he opens their eyes to the challenges and returns from delivering a purpose-defined company. He is an ideal educator for the new generation of leaders of what business should be: responsible, accountable and caring."Ewa Maciejewski, Vice Director University of St Gallen Business School, Switzerland
"The shareholder maximisation model is now broken. Alan makes a powerful case for purpose-driven companies. And, based on his CEO experience, he sets out and demonstrates a practical business model on how to make it happen. This is a book whose time has come. A must read."J. Rajagopal, CEO & executive coach. Formerly, Global Head Tata Consultancy Services. India

"As business migrates its rationale from a primary focus on shareholder value to embrace wider society goals, to include the environment, employees, suppliers and customers, a blue print for ‘How’ is critically needed. In his book, Dr Barlow, provides the guiding principles and route map to achieve this. And, more importantly, shows how he, as a CEO, applied them. I particularly liked the concept of developing a ranking index for FTSE / NYSE companies in terms of the extent to which they are purpose-driven. This is a must read and is a major contribution to this subject area."Eric Anstee, Pleural Non-Executive Director. Formerly, CEO of The Institute for Chartered Accountants in England & Wales
"… a critically important strategic and practical guide to doing the right thing for the right reason for society, while also ensuring corporate financial sustainability… demonstrates a practical business model for the "how to", with key components and steps to be taken… with financial and non-financial metrics for leadership to monitor and review performance in delivering the company’s purpose… I wish every CEO and Board Chair on the planet would heed this advice – imagine what a difference that would make in the world."Denise McNerney, President American Association for Strategic Planning, CEO iBossWell Inc
"… informed, insightful and challenging… it should be read by all CEOs, advisers and investors for effectively establishing and future proofing viable and sustainable companies of the future."John Handley, Chairman portfolio of private equity owned companies
"Alan Barlow’s Purpose Delivered couldn’t be more timely and useful… is timely because expectations for corporate purpose have intensified amidst the multiple disruptions that challenge business to contribute more directly to society. It’s useful because it explains and demonstrates the why, what and how as matters both of principle and practice. Alan Barlow is a reliable, credible guide because he has delivered the goods – for business and society – as a successful CEO."Bennett Freeman, Principal Bennett Freeman Associates. Formerly, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor

"For company boards, delivering purpose is becoming a requirement, not a nice-to-have. The dominant values in society are changing as millennials are gaining political and economic traction at the expense of boomers. The challenge for company boards is how to define and run a purpose-defined company when purpose goes beyond financial returns. Impact investors, and the ESG movement, have not yet found the answer. In this book, Alan Barlow sets out both a practical framework for defining a purpose-led company across four types of capital that impact investors would recognise. He also, importantly, shows how to operationalise that framework in practice in the way that business processes are implemented, decisions are taken and transparency is provided to all stakeholders. This is an important contribution that should be read by all company boards."Dr Richard Foster, External member of the Investment Board University of Cambridge. Formerly, Managing Director Morgan Stanley
"This is rare: not only a book on corporate purpose that majors on the ‘how’, but one based on lived experience. Alan draws effectively on his CEO career to demonstrate the case for a new core competence needed to deliver purpose, a competence based around the concept of ‘heightened integrity’. The book is full of pragmatic examples and tools, and enlivened by anecdotes."Sam Baker, Lead partner Monitor Deloitte EMEA strategy consulting practice
"When the dominant neo-liberal system is assaulted, the ‘company with a purpose’ brings hope. Alan’s book demonstrates concretely why and how. Sharing his experience as a very effective leader, his book illustrates how profiting through heightened integrity contributes to the common good and delivers for all stakeholders. The book makes explicit the model and the values upon which is built a ‘company with a purpose’; and, it is ground-breaking in demonstrating clearly ‘how’ to implement an effective transformation, and how to make the difficult but unavoidable trade-offs. A very timely work for all enlightened leaders who want to walk the talk."Henri-Claude de Bettignies, Emeritus Professor INSEAD Business School, France

"As becoming ‘purpose-led’ goes mainstream, the business focus is shifting from "why bother" to "how to do this well". The core of this timely and insightful book is a powerful worked example, showing the steps a committed and visionary CEO took over five years to put purpose into practice in a challenging context. With a wealth of practical illustrations of dilemmas and decisions, and using Blueprint for Better Business’s Five principles as an external benchmark, the book illuminates how taking purpose seriously is both a personal and organisational challenge, and demonstrates the amazing difference it can make – to the benefit of the business, society and the people involved."Charles Wookey, CEO Blueprint for Better Business

Die gr&uuml;ndliche Vorbereitung der Hauptverhandlung ist Voraussetzung f&uuml;r
einen aus Verteidigersicht optimalen Verhandlungsverlauf. Die richtige
Verteidigungsstrategie mu&szlig; fr&uuml;hzeitig entwickelt werden. Der Autor zeigt
aus seiner langj&auml;hrigen Erfahrung als Strafverteidiger die M&ouml;glichkeiten
einer effektiven Vorbereitung auf. In diesem Band werden die Chancen und
Risiken einer Einlassung des Mandanten zum Tatvorwurf sowie Umfang und
Grenzen der Pflichten des Verteidigers bei der Einlassungsberatung diskutiert.
Ferner schildert der Verfasser die f&uuml;r die Umsetzung der Verteidigungsstrategie
in der Hauptverhandlung notwendigen Vorbereitungsma&szlig;nahmen f&uuml;r die Vernehmung
von Zeugen und Sachverst&auml;ndigen sowie eine etwaige Strafma&szlig;verteidigung.
Ebenso werden Nutzen und Risiken von Verteidigungsschrifts&auml;tzen im Vorfeld
der Hauptverhandlung und von vorprozessualen Gespr&auml;chen und Absprachen
mit Staatsanw&auml;lten und Richtern er&ouml;rtert. Dar&uuml;ber hinaus behandelt der
Band weitere wichtige Themen, wie z. B. die Terminierung der Hauptverhandlung,
die notwendige Verteidigung und Pflichtverteidigerbeiordnung, die &Uuml;berpr&uuml;fung
der Zust&auml;ndigkeit und Besetzung des Gerichts. Zahlreiche Muster f&uuml;r die
Verfahrensantr&auml;ge vor der Hauptverhandlung sowie Checklisten zum Einlassungsverhalten,
zur &Uuml;berpr&uuml;fung von Sachverst&auml;ndigengutachten, zur Strafma&szlig;verteidigung
und zur Zust&auml;ndigkeits- und Besetzungspr&uuml;fung runden den Band ab und machen
ihn zu einem praktischen Hilfsmittel des Strafverteidigers.

Death with All the Trimmings

Die Geschichte des K&uuml;nstlers vom schlecht bezahlten Handwerker zum unabh&auml;ngigen
Freischaffenden: &Uuml;ber den jahrhundertelangen Weg der &Uuml;berwindung eines
Dienstverh&auml;ltnisses. Conti beleuchtet die Stellung des K&uuml;nstlers von der
Antike bis ins achtzehnte Jahrhundert, seine unw&uuml;rdige Position als manueller
Arbeiter oder H&ouml;fling, sein wachsendes Ansehen w&auml;hrend der italienischen
Renaissance, seinen Mythos als >saturnischer< K&uuml;nstler zwischen Rebellion
und Einsamkeit und schlie&szlig;lich seinen &ouml;ffentlichen Status als Gegenstand
des Ruhms, samt einem durch ihn belebten und von ihm lebenden Kunstmarkt.
Dabei widmet Conti einzelnen gro&szlig;en K&uuml;nstlern lehrreiche Portraits, wie
etwa Leonardo oder Michelangelo, besonders aber Caravaggio, der als der
erste revolution&auml;re K&uuml;nstler im eigentlichen Sinn des Wortes gelten kann.
