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 reader to a journey into the Italian Renaissance, where new ideas develop the "Leonardo Compliance Formula" and the "Owl Principle". Leonardo da Vinci, Niccolò Machiavelli and Giovanni de' Medici offer valid lessons for the implementing and managing of a modern human-centered Compliance system. The second part, "Business Tales from the Race Track", goes directly to race track. Auto racing is the ultimate test for machines and human behavior. This leads to precious insights about system-thinking, relevant for modern Compliance.
