Thank you for your quick response to this issue. Your love of illustration and understanding of it’s power to bolster the mission of The Drucker Institute is commendable. However, I am sure you understand that these works are the property of the creators and merely crediting them isn’t enough. Illustrators, writers, artists, scientists, film studios and, yes, management consultants wish to be compensated fairly for their intellectual property.
I would suggest that a better course of action would be for The Drucker Institute to take down all uncredited material, and to contact authors of the credited works for permission and/or negotiation for usage compensation. I would also refer you this section of the Terms of Use agreement for another Drucker enterprise, The Global Peter Drucker Forum (emphasis mine):
General
This site and all content, graphics and art work in this site may not be copied, reproduced, republished, uploaded, posted, transmitted, distributed, or used for the creation of derivative works without Peter Drucker Society Europe`s prior written consent, except that Peter Drucker Society Europe grants you non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited permission to access and display the Web pages within this site, solely on your computer and for your personal, non-commercial use of this Web site. This permission is conditioned on your not modifying the content or art work displayed on this site, your keeping intact all copyright, trademark, and other proprietary notices, and your acceptance of any terms, conditions, and notices accompanying the content or otherwise set forth in this site…
As this example shows, one part of the vast Drucker empire understands the importance and value of intellectual property.
Once again, thank you for good faith response to this issue.
Sincerely,
Mark Kaufman

Hi Mark,
I am a one person media department at a non-profit and I love great illustration.
I’ve used some images on our free blog over the years and I’ve tried to identify, credit and link to illustrators’ sites when I could.
I am also really happy to take down any images that an illustrator doesn’t want us to use.
The best way to make a request is by emailing me here at contact@druckerinstitute.com
I hope you’ll let your followers know how they can get in touch with me quickly and I’ll do my best to jump on their request as swiftly as I can.
Best,
REDACTED
