  • I’ve found that the content of the programme has made me think and evaluate areas of work in a new light. The guided research topics have enabled me to challenge my own pre-conceived ideas of what it means to operate ethically, specifically around how to handle the differences between the personal ethics we all bring with us and how this then shapes the organisation as a whole. It has ultimately given me increased confidence when I need to challenge the way in which my own organisation handles and operates areas of ethical and innovation management.
