We will review why outdated ethical models centered around rule-based codes have failed and what research indicates does improve individual and organizational ethical reasoning.
This innovative and interactive session taps the fields of neuroscience, psychology and even biology to understand the point where science, emotion, and critical thinking interact. Instead of critiquing how our minds are supposed to work, we will delve inside the fascinating world of how our minds actually work when we face difficult dilemmas with competing goals. You will experience startling, interactive experiments that reveal how we miss the obvious and how our minds conjure up false perceptions out of thin air. We will review why outdated ethical models centered around rule-based codes have failed and what research indicates does improve individual and organizational ethical reasoning.
Major Subjects: • Why model codes of ethics fail • The science behind organizations “Ethical DNA” • Understanding the psychology behind “Tone at the Top” • The interaction between critical thinking and ethics • Breaking myths about motivation related to decision making • Ethical decision-making under pressure • Are ethics and morals “fixed” or can we learn to improve
Designed for: Analysts, auditors, governance and compliance professionals, and those working in the IT, HR, legal, and medical professions as well as executives, policymakers and other decision-makers interested in having a deeper understanding of ethical reasoning.
