About this ebook
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.

FOREWORD
Disruption
is in fashion today, to stop the current and give opportunity to the new. Disruption does not automatically mean that something new will be implemented, but that a break can be used to think about the status quo and potential alternatives. A new decision-making process will choose between continuing on the known path or switch to a new one.
A travel disrupts the daily-routine and sometimes even pushes the individual out of their personal comfort-zones. Traveling educates
is not only a phrase, but new locations and meeting other people are always a source of inspiration. The individual connects the new impression with his or her actual life and tasks. After the time off, such new ideas can make the person re-think his or her tasks and, hopefully, make such more effective.
The French author Marcel Proust analyzed: The real voyage consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.
In 2020, COVID-19 let to a different quite of journey, a slow travel in time without changing the location. An opportunity to use the time to edit some of my older texts to include them into two new Compliance books. Both Compliance Travels
and Business Tales from the Race Track
have their own unique theme. Nevertheless, I liked to idea to revive last century’s concept of omnibus-movies. One film, but telling three or four independent stories. A popular concept particularly in the 1960s. One example is Spirits of the Dead
, where Federico Fellini directed the third segment Toby Dammit
. The former Shakespeare actor Toby Dammit receives a role for a movie set in Rome, where besides his salary he receives a golden Ferrari as bonus. Slowly he loses his minds and races around a surreal city. Fellini was aware of Ferrari’s ability to offer customized cars for special clients, as they did for example for Roberto Rosselini or Gianni Agnelli. For the movie he used a Ferrari 330 LMB, commissioned by Fiorenzo Fantuzzi to create a unique coach for the chassis. The result became known as the golden Ferrari
, surreal as the film itself, as after the filming, the chassis was reunited with its original body, while the golden spyder body became re-used to fit on a Ferrari 330 2+2, only to get lost in time.

1 The Leonardo Compliance Formula
By car, the small city of Vinci is around 41 kilometers away from Florence. Today around 14,300 citizens live here. More than 500 years ago, Leonardo was born near this place and based on the tradition, received his name Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci
. As universal genius, talented artist and curious in all aspects, he became the ideal of the Renaissance time.
In his famous Vitruvian Man
he realistically pictured a man from different angles. Leonardo not only understood the outside, but also human psychology, as his quote It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end.
confirms. The beginning of a potential Compliance deviation is the best time to contact your Ethics & Compliance Officer. The employee considers this, while the decision depends on the perceived benefits and costs for doing so.
As Leonardo was a man of science, we can convert his idea into a formula, starting with some basic definitions:
r) Estimated Compliance risk: The estimated negative impact for the company and society. (Empathy and involvement into society leads to a higher estimated Compliance risk.)
b) Anticipated benefit of Compliance: The estimated positive impact of the Compliance Officer solving the problem.
c) Cost of Information: The estimated cost to contact the Compliance Officer and / or to
