EDUCATION

  • Are people in your organization asking "why" questions about ethics that you cannot answer without appealing to regulations?
  • Do your co-workers see ethical standards opinion-enforcement?
  • Do you want to prevent public moral outcry and retroactive punishment?

We develop and lead customized talks, workshops, and training programs to help businesspeople understand ethical standards and the reasons for them.

In addition, we provide individual consultations to answer questions you have about ethics and/or your organizations' training programs.

Newer generations question ethical standards, authority, loyalty, and their place in the world. Many see ethical claims as mere opinions or preferences, where ethics is just a power move. If they're told what to do without good enough reasons, they'll become discontent, resentful, or rebellious.

We've found that people begin to care a great deal about ethics when they realize that they can reason about ethics. Each person can have good internal reasons to act ethically, and we can provide those reasons- it's one of the primary areas of our research.

The education we provide will help businesses prevent public moral outcry and retroactive punishment. If businesses are focused on compliance rather than ethics, their people can stay ahead of slow-developing legislation and policy for a while...but eventually legislation and public opinion change to reflect ethical standards that have been in place the whole time. When this happens, lawmakers and the public retroactively punish those who didn't comply with the ethical standards they should have known about. This has happened with the #metoo movement, and it is happening now with privacy. Let's avoid these failures. We help businesses identify ethical standards, and we train individuals to know how to maintain them.
