Dr Alistair Ping PhD
Managing Director
Alistair Ping is a Visiting Research Fellow in the Philosophy Department at Adelaide University and was previously an Adj. Professor at QUT Graduate School of Business. He is also a Colin Brain Governance Fellow. He is a recognised expert in Ethics and Governance having over 25 years experience in the field. Alistair regularly presents at Conferences (including the Australian Public Sector Anti-Corruption Conferences) and direct to corporations (AICD, CEO Institute, Clayton Utz) and Govt bodies.
In 2002, Alistair was awarded the Coral Sea Scholarship from the Australian-American Fulbright Foundation to study Corporate Social Responsibility trends in the US. This study formed the basis of the report ‘Engage’ which was submitted to the Australian Senate Enquiry into Corporate Social Responsibility in Australia. Following on from this study Alistair completed a PhD at QUT in Applied Ethics which investigated ‘Why Good People Do Bad Things’ – a key result of this inter-disciplinary research was the development of a causal factor model which considers behavioural and contextual cues that can lead to unethical outcomes. Insights from this research were submitted to the Victorian ‘Integrity and Oversight Committee’. Alistair is also the author of two business books on Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility; six personal development books; and numerous magazine and newspaper articles.
