HOME PAGE OF David J. O’Regan

Welcome to my website. I invite you to explore my writings on how to achieve administrative excellence in organizations.

My writings on these themes (books, articles, papers, even poetry) have been published over the last quarter-century.

My main interests  are in auditing as a socio-economic institution that promotes social trust, and in the ways Indic wisdom might enrich the West.  

All views expressed in this web site are my personal views, and not the views of any of the organizations or individuals I have been associated with.
