In an ever-changing social, economic, and environmental landscape, businesses are urged to adopt fair, sustainable, transparent, and inclusive practices.

This extends to the design of digital products, which are integral to our lives and instrumental in facilitating business innovation and ethical commitment.

What will you learn?

Learning by Doing

In this full-day workshop, we emphasize a hands-on approach because we firmly believe in the power of learning by doing.
Participants will be engaged in a range of practical exercises that not only bring theoretical concepts to life but also foster a deeper understanding and mastery of the subject.

Bridging the Gap

To ensure a comprehensive learning experience, we've designed the workshop to seamlessly bridge the gap between theory and practice.
We will facilitate and guide you through a series of group activities, all based on a real-life project. Participants will also be provided with the necessary theoretical grounding for the tools that we will use.

Building for Sustainable Profit

In the rapidly changing landscape where ethics and values are now key drivers for consumers, knowing how to innovate with an ethical lens is a strong competitive advantage.
This workshop will teach participants a set of practical activities and tools to assess, evaluate and build specifically with ethics front and center.

The Business Benefits of Ethical Design

Building with an ethical lens results in sustainable, long-term profit by increasing brand trust and customer loyalty, improving cost efficiency, increasing employee retention, and reducing or even mitigating risk.
