Ethics Academy
Bespoke workshops and training to empower your team with a shared moral vocabulary.
Overview
Technology ethics is often treated as a niche expertise, sequestered in the legal department. But the most important decisions happen in the code editor and the design file. The Ethics Academy is about democratization. I build custom curriculums designed to give your individual contributors—engineers, designers, product managers—the confidence to identify and articulate ethical risks. We move beyond "don't be evil" into practical, actionable frameworks they can use on Monday morning.
What You Get
- Tailored Curriculum: Case studies and examples drawn from your specific industry and tech stack, not generic textbook problems.
- Practical Toolkits: Checklists, decision trees, and discussion prompts that fit into your existing development lifecycle.
- Shared Language: A team that can debate trade-offs using consistent concepts, reducing friction and emotional burnout during difficult decisions.
