Course Description

Ethical intelligence is the level of one’s ability to understand, develop and regulate their own ethical reasoning. It includes the ability to recognize and interpret ethical elements of a situation, determine the best actions, and follow through on ethical commitments. 

As media reports on corporate scandals make clear, ethics need to be at the heart and soul of every business decision. Boards are responsible for setting the tone at the top and satisfying themselves as to the integrity of the CEO and management. In the board room of a company, there are hard decisions to take alongside the long-term consequences. 

But how does the board assess whether the organization has a sustainable culture of integrity to support transparency and ethical decision-making and protect against the risk of fraud or damage to the organization’s reputation? 

Does the board understand where the organization’s strategy may create ethical risks? 

This webinar provides us with an idea of how ethical intelligence can play a crucial role in making these decisions. It will also provide participants with an overview of recent examples of ethical lapses, techniques on how to look for warning signs, and explore what tools and practices are available to the board.

With the advent of technology and its application in daily life, artificial intelligence and robotics have become the way forward. They are digital technologies that will have a significant impact on the development of humanity in the near future. They have raised fundamental questions about what we should do with these systems, what the systems themselves should do, what risks they involve, and how we can control these. 

This online CPE Webinar will provide participants with an overview of the business, reputational and legal risks of ethics and artificial intelligence and how best to mitigate those risks and secure support from private and public institutions.
