Highlights: The Inaugural Episode of IAACA Leadership Nexus Webinar Series
We are proud to have successfully hosted our brand-new flagship platform, the IAACA Leadership Nexus Webinar Series!
For our inaugural episode, we were deeply honoured to host Dr Giuseppe Busia, President of the Italian National Anti-Corruption Authority (ANAC) and Vice President of IAACA.
Reflecting on his six-year tenure at ANAC, Dr Busia shared powerful insights on anti-corruption leadership:
Digitalization vs Corruption: "When every step of a procedure is digitally traceable, when databases are interoperable, and when the documents are fully accessible and updated in real time, the space for opportunistic behaviour narrows dramatically. Thus, technology becomes not only an efficiency tool, but a real safeguard of legality."
Human-Centric AI & Technology: "The ANAC model demonstrates that AI must play an auxiliary and a fully explainable role. It can interpret and verify data, simplify complexity, and generate clarity, but it must never formulate evaluations or replace institutional responsibility."
Guarding Independence: "Independence is built and has to be built in the very architecture. We defend our independence through autonomy—it is not a declaration of principle, it is a daily practice sustained by clear rules, transparent procedures, and a culture that protects judgment from external pressure."
Global & Public Connection: "The mindset must shift from cooperation as an event to cooperation as an infrastructure—the structure and architecture of cooperation. We have not to work with the episode, but with the method."
Advice for Future Leaders: "In a world dominated by speed, automation, and digital noise, listening becomes a form of leadership—a way to transform complexity into meaning, and this meaning into action."
Legacy: "I hope our legacy will be the culture we tried to build—a culture of collaboration and openness, a culture where digital innovation is used to illuminate, not only to control, a culture where prevention is seen as a progress, oversight as a guidance, and integrity as a collective responsibility, not an institutional burden."
Thank you to our global members and partners who tuned in! Together, we continue to strengthen our global peer network to uphold integrity across borders.
