Senior Vice President at MTN, Ebenezer Asante, has called for a new ethical architecture in business leadership.

Speaking as the keynote speaker at the Arganbright Partners Convergence Conference at Marriott Hotel yesterday, on the theme “Governance and Ethics in the 21st Century: A Path to Sustainable Value Creation,” Ebenezer revealed that the central crisis facing modern organisations is not a crisis of profit but a crisis of orientation.

The question, he said, is not how much value is created, but for whom, and at what cost to human dignity.

He therefore introduced the Senseholder Value Accountability Framework, built on three honest questions every organisation must face:

1.  How are we perceived?
2.  What are we missing?
3.  What do we do under pressure?

He said these will serve as a practical compass for ethical governance.

Ebenezer then called for employees to have a genuine voice in ethics, for leaders to lead by visible example, and for organisations to be deliberately designed to enhance human dignity and create sustained value.

The programme organised by the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International was attended by dignitaries across academia and business including former Rector of GIMPA, Prof Kwame Addai, CEO of Standard Chartered Bank, Mansa Nettey, CEO of Chase Petroleum, Kwaku Bediako and top business and management executives.

Mr Asante was accompanied by Chief Risk and Compliance Officer Joseph Dogbe, Ag. GM Sustainability and Shared Value Georgina Asare Fiagbenu, and Manager for Data and Devices, Abdul Latif Issahaku.
